Try the following (untested): SRC = 01_InvalidByte.txt \ 02_CorruptedMsg.txt \ 03_InvalidByte.txt \ 04_InvalidByteAscii.txt \ 05_BufferOverrun.txt BIN = $(SRC:.txt=.bin) CLEANFILES = $(BIN) EXTRA_DIST = $(SRC) pxxd.pl all-local: $(BIN) # When we 'make' we create generate the bin files SUFFIXES = .txt .bin .txt.bin: perl pxxd.pl $< $@ If you want to generate the bin files only at 'make check' time, then you can use the 'check-local' target instead of the 'all-local' one. Hope that helps. If it doesn't, then please post the output you get from the failing 'make' command. Cheers, Ralf
