I would like to create an if condition. But it works partially :
libmy_lib_SOURCES = source.c
if HAVE_IPP
libmy_lib_SOURCES += ipp.c

when the HAVE_IPP is false, the makefile created is different than a
makefile created with only "libmy_lib_SOURCES = sources.c"
why ?
There are two reasons I can think of. First, there is a fundamental
difference; with the IF, Automake knows it needs to distribute ipp.c.
Second, there is an accidental difference; IF is implemented by configure
substitutions, and this works by selectively commenting out some lines in
the Makefile.
In both cases (without IF or without ipp.c), normal compilation should be
the same. Are you seeing any other behavior changes as well?
