Do you want to 'include' a 'automake file' fragment so that it is processed when automake is running (mostly done by autoreconf these days) or do you want to include a 'make file' fragment, which is processed when make is run? You are speaking about 'sub-makefiles.am' above, which indicates the former. While your 'common.mk' indicates the latter. To your question at hand, if you have an absolute path to an 'automake file' in an Automake include directive, than this would mean, you are the only person who can run automake in this project. If you want to include a 'make file' at make time, than I suggest you try this: @AMDEP_TRUE@@am__include@ @am__quote@@another_pj_...@common.mk@am__quote@ Now automake generates a include statement which will be processed at make time.
