Build once without your qt dependencies in place and carefully note the name and relative location of the object file generated from src/lcairo.c. The qt dependency rule will have to look like this: exact-name-and-relative-location-of-object : resource.qt This is the short answer. You might also want to use the $(OBJEXT) macro for the extension on the object file for portability's sake: .../lcairo.$(OBJEXT) : resource.qt This is why most people just use BUILT_SOURCES - it's cheating but it works for most cases. (See section 9.5 of the Automake manual for more info on BUILT_SOURCES). John
