Not really. I agree that it's kind of ugly, but what's even more, there are uses relying on something like this to happen: it was actually recommended to do e.g., if COND_FALSE nodist_foo_SOURCES += force-c++-linker.cc endif so I'm afraid you might have to live with a workaround. You can set foo_LINK for linking. Hope that helps. Cheers, Ralf
