Yes. You simply 'mv Makefile Makefile.am' and replace 'all' with 'all-local' and 'clean' with 'clean-local'. That's it! Of course you still need to write a configure.ac file and so on, but I guess you can find yourself though there by reading through the Hello World example in the introduction of the manual: <http://www.gnu.org/software/automake/manual/html_node/Autotools-Introduction.html> Cheers, Ralf
