I'm looking for a structure like this to work: src/Makefile.am --- include foo/frag1.mk src/foo/frag1.mk include frag2.mk src/foo/frag2.mk some stuff But at the moment (automake 1.11.1) the notion of current directory when processing foo/frag2.mk

program specific LDFLAGS

2007-01-27 Thread David Byron
I'm trying to conditionally add a program-specific linker flag but I'm having trouble. Part of my Makefile.am looks like this: noinst_PROGRAMS = zombie immOutTester testrunner # Use these flags for all the programs built here LDADD = $(top_builddir)/util/util.a $(BOOST_LIBS) ${PTHREAD_LIBS} #

I'm not sure whether this is a cygwin problem, an automake problem, or my problem but I thought I'd start here. I'm trying to run the autotools on cygwin (eventually using cccl when I get that far), but I'm running into trouble before that. Here's the error I get: $ autoreconf -fvi
