Using automake without Makefile.am is non-standard and not provided for within automake. The only thing we use automake for is to copy config.{guess,sub} to the root of the root of the source. Also, building as one large monolithic Makefile with includes built via scripts is probably not optimal from a comprehension point of view. > Our use of config.{guess,sub} is pretty standard, > at least as far as invoking the scripts is concerned. Yes, as we discussed, they are used in configure. -- Bruce
