'subr_random.c' is picked up in ../ Automake doesn't really cope well when you set VPATH yourself, nor when there are distributed files outside the toplevel source or build directories. There is a good rationale, too: your users expect files in foo-1.0.tar.gz to extract into a subdir foo-1.0/ and not overwrite other files on their system. Can you sym- or hardlink the file in your tree (note that 'make dist' will expand symlinks, for portability), or make your outer directory the toplevel package directory? > P.S.

Yes, that is a bad idea. Hope that helps. Cheers, Ralf
