Re: Do nested subdirs of source always require building temporarylibraries you don't install?...

Thanks for the info.  You are right that you can add paths to source files
on xyz_SOURCE line.  If I didn't want to add paths (e.g. I had
a *ton* of directories and files) then I *must* make
a noninst_LIBRARY line and do a temporary non-installing library
right??

i.e. These are the *only* 2 alternatives right?

Thanks again,

Chris

P.S. If I did a noninstalling library would I need
AC_CONFIG_RANLIB macro *in general* if I wanted
portability beyond just Linux and Solaris??

It's not true, you can have:
xyz_SOURCE =
   sub/foo.c
   sub/sub/bar.c

etc...

> And do you need AC_CONFIG_RANLIB in configure.ac as well?

Not if you only run on platforms that don't require "ranlib" - Linux and
Solaris for example.
