Hello Charles..

OK, I'll redirect my question there. Thing is, though, that neither my Makefile.am nor my configure.in file contains _any_ reference to Libtool. I've installed Libtool 1.4 (which runs OOTB) on my Cygwin, and there is no more problem. It doesn't create Libtool libraries (which is why I don't want to use libtool) but I'm not sure what it is doing.
Like I said, I'll redirect my question to automake AT gnu DOT org.

Thanx!

Sorry - I wasn't talking about setup - that's just fine (if I have 
anything to say about that, I will certainly be more specific & try to 
find a solution :) I was talking about Automake's dependency tracking, 
which doesn't seem to work for me - though I see no reason why it 
wouldn't..
Another question for the appropriate list :) (But for the moment, I've 
just shut it off)

Thanx & Greetz!

Ronald
