Hi all. I know this is slightly off-topic, but while I am trying to make the sources of btparse to use automake and libtool, I ran into the following problem: btparse includes a test suite, whose programs depend on the shared library itself. Therefore, when using automake and libtool, this shared library needs to be added to LDADD: ## Process this file with automake to produce Makefile.in INCLUDES = @INCLUDES@ -I../src LDADD = ../src/libbtparse.la bin_PROGRAMS = simple_test read_test postprocess_test simple_test_SOURCES = simple_test.c testlib.c read_test_SOURCES = read_test.c testlib.c postprocess_test_SOURCES = postprocess_test.c However, when I run make, I get an error (note that in the toplevel Makefile, SUBDIRS = tests src): marco@wimsey:~/devel/debian/btparse-0.33mk % make Making all in tests make[1]: Entering directory /usr/local/debian/btparse-0.33mk/tests' gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I../src -g -O2 -c simple_test.c gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I../src -g -O2 -c testlib.c make[1]: *** Keine Regel vorhanden, um das Target »../src/libbtparse.la«, benötigt von »simple_test«, zu erstellen. Schluss. make[1]: Leaving directory /usr/local/debian/btparse-0.33mk/tests' make: *** [all-recursive] Fehler 1 (Which means, for the non-German-speaking among you, that make has no rule to create ../src/libbtparse.la.) How do I specify that the contents of the src directory (in which libbtparse.la will eventually be generated) should be built before trying to build test? Can I only do this by putting SUBDIRS in the right order (i.e., putting src before tests)? Marco
