Yes. This is how it should work: the gnulib machinery should cause gl_GETOPT to be used somewhere, gl_GETOPT should expand gl_GETOPT_SUBSTITUTE, gl_GETOPT_SUBSTITUTE has AC_LIBOBJ([getopt]), that in turn calls AC_LIBSOURCE([getopt.c]), which in turn is traced by Automake for adding to distribution. How can we get at a more complete Hello example to find out what exactly went wrong? > BTW, the actual error comes from xgettext at make distcheck: > /usr/local/gnu/bin/xgettext: error while opening "gnulib/lib/getopt.c" for > reading: No such file or directory Cheers, Ralf
