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
This is almost identical to what I tried.
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.
Ok, so there must be something that is better about CVS because your
test also does not fail for me.
