The syntax is if TEST SUBDIRS += ... endif and there should not be any indentation of `if' and `endif', and at most spaces for indentation of variable assignments, no TABs. You already learned that running aclocal and autoconf is required; the first time you use AM_CONDITIONAL, the code of this macro needs to be added to your aclocal.m4 file. If you need to maintain a patch against a Libtool macro, then what most users do is write a bootstrap or autogen.sh script which consists of something like libtoolize [--copy] [--install] patch -p0 - <<EOF here comes your patch text for m4/libtool.m4 EOF aclocal -I m4 autoconf automake -Wall Cheers, Ralf
