well, I created configure.ac and Makefile.am: $ cat configure.ac AC_INIT([this], [1.0], [EMAIL PROTECTED]) AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE([foreign]) AC_CONFIG_FILES([Makefile]) AC_OUTPUT $ cat Makefile.am sysconf_DATA = $(top_srcdir)/test.txt $ Then I run: autoreconf -i ./configure make distcheck and the distcheck failed with the expected message: make[1]: *** No rule to make target `../test.txt', needed by `all-am'. Stop. I used recent CVS build of Autoconf, and a CVS version of Automake which is slightly older than 1.10. Stepan
