Thank you. Maybe. I use gnulib-tool to pull the sources into autogen and then spin off a libopts tarball. That tarball includes the gnulib stuff. My intention was to be able to unroll it, add in ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS and have it work. It needs work. > 2) You hand-imported module 'stdnoreturn'. But it depends on module > 'snippets/_Noreturn'.

I guess this is where my confusion lives. I see that when I specify a mess of modules, those modules pull in their "Depends-on:" modules. Mostly. I'll add snippet/_Noreturn to the autogen stuff and see where that goes. Again, thank you so very much for your help. I had gotten to aimless wandering now knowing how far South I had gotten. > 3) The EXTRA_DIST addition in libopts/Makefile.am is correct. > gnulib-tool would do it for you, but you chose to do it by hand. It is actually a computed list, based on what gets pulled in via gnulib-tool. > 4) Later on, I need to distribute the man page, despite the fact it is rebuldable. You have been a great help. Thank you so much. Regards, Bruce
