BTW, Automake sets VPATH to contain $(srcdir) if source and build tree are separate, so this line should not be needed (=+ is also a typo), if you ... > rule: > xsltproc --path "$(VPATH)" ... ... just write --path "$(srcdir)" here instead. That way, you don't pass "" if source and build trees coincide. Cheers, Ralf
