If you invoke the tool as: gnulib-tool --create-testdir --dir=/tmp/testdir regex It will create an entire new project in /tmp/testdir for the regex module. Then you can run it again: cd /tmp/testdir gnulib-tool --import --lgpl regex After that, you have the sources in lib/ and the required M4 macros in gl/. You can copy them somewhere else, but you should call gl_EARLY early in configure.ac, and gl_INIT later on in your configure.ac. Due to the use of AC_LIBSOURCES, you cannot use AC_LIBOBJ or AC_REPLACE_FUNCS in your project, unless you put the regex library in the same directory where you put your @[EMAIL PROTECTED] Placing gnulib files in a directory with other files is not the typical way to use gnulib, but your usage already appear to be non-typical. I agree with Bruno that the consequences of AC_LIBSOURCES is serious flaw in gnulib currently. Hopefully it can be fixed with newer m4/automake/libtool (I forget which newer versions were needed, they depended on each other somehow). I'm not sure what the supposed advantage with AC_LIBSOURCES was compared to the old scheme. Using gnulib modules without autoconf is not supported, as far as I know.
