MyProject/src MyProject/bin MyProject/bin/linux MyProject/bin/windows configure.ac: AC_CONFIG_SRCDIR(src/main.cpp) No VPATH customization.

In fact, when I am reading the generated Makefiles, VPATH variables are correctly set. I see the problem right now, but I don't understand it. And I really don't know how to solve it ! In fact, I have the next source tree: MyProject/src/ MyProject/src/libcore MyProject/src/plugins MyProject/src/tests If I have an error in MyProject/src/libcore and I am running make in MyProject/bin/linux/src/libcore, source code is correctly found. If I have an error in MyProject/src/plugins and I am running make in MyProject/bin/linux/src/plugins, source code is correctly found. Same for the test directory. But, I have an error in MyProject/src/libcore and I am running make in MyProject/bin/linux/src, source code is not found anymore. This is weird and unpractical. Do you anderstand this behaviour ? I have a little more question about Emacs configuration. When I was building binaries in the source directory, I was running 'make' in the directory of the current file. It was simple. Since Makefiles have moved, I am running 'make' in src directory. Is it a good idea ? Thanks in advance. Best regards.
