Closer inspection of that Makefile.am will reveal that it generates those .[Ch] files by linking against those in the xforms dir. Angus nodist_libqt2xforms_la_SOURCES = \ Color.h \ Color.C \ DropDown.h \ DropDown.C \ Tooltips.h \ Tooltips.C \ $(XFORMSGIMAGE) \ xforms_helpers.h \ xforms_helpers.C libqt2xforms.la: link_files $(libqt2xforms_la_OBJECTS) link_files: for i in $(nodist_libqt2xforms_la_SOURCES); do \ ln -sf "$(top_srcdir)/src/frontends/xforms/$$i" . ; \ done
