[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]
Hello,

Absolute paths in EXTRA_DIST will cause "make distcheck" failure. Attached is a set of files to reproduce the error. The description of how to reproduce the error and my analysis of why it occurs can be found in "$(top_srcdir)/build_autotools/README". Please note that nowhere in the automake documentation does it say one cannot use absolute paths in EXTRA_DIST.

Thanks,

Mostafa
