Package: automake Version: 1.11.1 It would be useful to add a note to "8.4 Program and Library Variables" part of Automake documentation that Automake's dependency generator does not generate proper dependencies when maude_LIBADD have variables that are AC_SUBSTed. In such case maude_DEPENDENCIES should be used explicitly. If this is a bug then please see an example in attached tarball. It contains code for two simple libraries - hello and greeter. Greeter depends on hello. There is a file greeter/greeter.am in which I have written _LIBADD and _DEPENDENCIES in several ways - the first two tries ends with linking error stating about nonexistent libhello.la. Please also note that I used a nonrecursive Automake and Makefile.am includes greeter.am first and then hello.am (so in a sort of reverse order). If hello.am would be included first and then greeter.am - compilation then usually passes when compiling it in single thread. Compilation of this example: ./autogen.sh && make If this is not a bug I am willing to provide a patch dor documentation.
