'make check' is the thing to use; see 'info Automake --index check'. > It hasn't created the *.o files either....

I thought TESTS would do > that for me?? TESTS only specifies what tests to run. check_PROGRAMS specifies which files are compiled and linked, and are needed before the 'check' target can run. AM_DEFAULT_SOURCE_EXT specifies the source file extension that, for a program 'foo', the default foo_SOURCES entry has. Cheers, Ralf
