That's supported by default: see info Automake "VPATH Builds" Apart from that feature, you can also specify source file names with subdir components, e.g., foo_SOURCES = a.c sub/b.c sub/subsub/c.c and depending on whether you use the subdir-objects Automake option, objects will land in the current directory or in relative subdirectories. Hope that helps. Cheers, Ralf
