Hi, thanks for your reply, some more questions though:

It does compile now, and it does dump all the .o and .lo and what not in the same directory as the sources - very ugly. This is exactly what I was avoiding with the separate build directory and it worked just perfectly until automake 1.14 came along. Is there any way to tell 1.14 to place the object files into some dedicated directory without doing an actual "out of tree" build, or in other words, can I achieve the same setup that I had on 1.14 somehow? Kind regards, Jin
