This is correct. > Is this all that needs to be changed for your situation?

However, there is no advice printed to create the directory lib/. The two lines of advice that no longer apply are: [Don't forget to] - add "lib/Makefile" to AC_CONFIG_FILES in ./configure.ac, - mention "lib" in SUBDIRS in Makefile.am, (By the way, I'm very happy that the problem is as simple as misleading suggestions; there's no problem, as far as I can discover, with the actual functionality.) -- http://rrt.sc3d.org
