But using it, and hard-coding it in Makefile.am are two different things. Even then, you, the user of Erik's package, can make distcheck DISTCHECK_CONFIGURE_FLAGS= OTOH, Erik could also put this in his Makefile.am: my-distcheck: $(MAKE) $(AM_MAKEFLAGS) DISTCHECK_CONFIGURE_FLAGS=--enable-gcc-werror > I think that "make distcheck" should be for testing the distribution > integrity.

Which is one reason I'm hesitating to enable the option dist-lzma for the Automake package itself. Cheers, Ralf
