Ok, although sending mail to automake-request at gnu dot org doesn't indicated
that I'm confirmed.[see below]

Thanks for all the references.  That helps.  And thank you very much for
responding.

BTW -- automake 1.4-p4 autoconf 2.57.

I tried that before, and fell back to AM_CPPFLAGS.  Perhaps I'm missing
the point:

If I try:

noinst_LTLIBRARIES = libswishindex.la
libswishindex_la_LIBADD =  sw_expat/libswexpat.la $(LIBXML2_OBJS)
libswishindex_la_LDFLAGS = $(LIBXML2_LIB)
libswishindex_la_CPPFLAGS = $(LIBXML2_CFLAGS)

libswishindex_la_DEPENDENCIES = $(LIBXML2_OBJS)
EXTRA_libswishindex_la_SOURCES = parser.c parser.h

libswishindex_la_SOURCES = \
        fs.c fs.h \
        http.c http.h \
        ...

The flags are set:

~/swish-e/src$ fgrep LIBXML2_CFLAGS Makefile
LIBXML2_CFLAGS = -I/usr/include/libxml2/libxml -I/usr/include/libxml2
libswishindex_la_CPPFLAGS = $(LIBXML2_CFLAGS)

But when building the LIBXML2_CFLAGS are not passed to gcc:

gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I. -g -O2 -Wp,-MD,.deps/parser.pp -c parser.c
-fPIC -DPIC -o .libs/parser.lo
parser.c:67: libxml/HTMLparser.h: No such file or directory
parser.c:68: libxml/xmlerror.h: No such file or directory
parser.c:69: libxml/uri.h: No such file or directory

~/swish-e/src$ fgrep libswishindex_la_CPPFLAGS Makefile  
libswishindex_la_CPPFLAGS = $(LIBXML2_CFLAGS)


The second method of conditionals looks ok, but if I have multiple options
it might require a lot of "elses".

If I update Makefile.am, then run ./bootstrap && ./configure && make the
library is not rebuilt.  I guessed that there would be dependency on the
Makefile.

Thanks,
