See http://www.tip.net.au/~millerp/rmch/recu-make-cons-harm.html for some background. You can tell Automake you want the subdirectory built *after* the current one by changing src/Makefile.am's SUBDIRS definition to SUBDIRS = . exec Alternatively, you can merge src/exec/Makefile.am into src/Makefiles.am. It's ok to write things like noinst_LIBRARIES = libfoo.a libfoo_a_SOURCES = foo.c bin_PROGRAMS = exec/main exec_main_SOURCES = exec/main.c exec_main_LDADD = libfoo.a -- Alexandre Duret-Lutz
