But that can be simplified to if PROGRAMS bin_PROGRAMS = $(jpeg_programs) dist_man1_MANS = $(man_mans) endif without losing functionality (as long as $(jpeg_programs) expands to a literal list of programs, no @substs@). The Makefile.in files are even identical, apart from the two lines you changed. What am I missing? Cheers, Ralf
