It might be that I used to add $(builddir). I found these examples in my projects: VPATH += $(top_builddir)/src $(top_builddir)/xsl $(top_srcdir)/xsl XSLTPROC_FLAGS += --path "$(VPATH)" VPATH += @builddir@ XSLTPROC_FLAGS += --path "$(VPATH)" I will check my local copies as soon as I'm back. All I can say is, that the above works well (also if builddir != srcdir).
