The way I interpret the automake manual is that $() in SOURCES is not supported, nor possible. Variables could be changed at make time (by passing arguments to make, for example), which provide an instance where an ambiguity arises, and automake wants to avoid that :-) Second, the value of top_srcdir cannot be known beforehand, because it is first set by configure. The sensible way is to statically resolve $(top_srcdir) with the real (relative) path of the source file, that is, foo_SOURCES = foo.c lib/bar.c lib/bar.h lib/nothere.c Depending on where your particular Makefile.am is located, it may even be ../lib/nothere.c or ../../lib/nothere.c, and so on. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
