I'll assume you have seen my reply to Ralf. >From my POV, I have heard folks saying for a long time how "easy" it is to use automake to produce non-recursive Makefiles. But I haven't seen this in practice, and on the (few) attempts I have made to figure it out myself and look for examples, I have not yet been able to find a really useful solution. What I think we'd want is a reasonably well-documented description of how to use automake to produce a source tree where one can: - run "make" from the top-level of the tree and all of the normal things happen (and all of the normal targets work) - run "make" from a subdir, which would handle all of the normal targets for that subdir, and would also automatically handle *all* of the dependencies needed for the specified targets in that subdir (like prerequisite libraries).
