Then what you typically do is create a convenience library in each of the sub directories, and at the end merge them together. --- sub/Makefile.am --- noinst_LTLIBRARIES = libconv.la libconv_la_SOURCES = ... --- Makefile.am --- lib_LTLIBRARIES = libmylib.la libmylib_la_SOURCES = ## yes, the previous line can be empty libmylib_la_LIBADD = sub/libconv.la sub2/libconv.la ... > and the current > problem I have is that the individual object files dont seem to be linked. > This hardly surprising as to prevent link errors I have a -c (no link) > option for each subdirectory. Get rid of that -c. Hope that helps. Alternatively, you can look into nonrecursive make setups, and do something like --- Makefile.am --- lib_LTLIBRARIES = libmylib.la libmylib_la_SOURCES = sub/file1.c sub2/file3.c ... Cheers, Ralf
