hans,
as an aside, what progress are you making on an automake template, do you have something that could be easily reapplied to various situations for pd libs?
there seem to be a few strategies, the iem builders (iem16/iemmatrix/zexy) for one, bryan jurish's moocow builders and a set made by tim blechmann (used with flext).
i still need to spend some time with the docs before i get into autotools propper. and any info would be useful.
cheers, dmotd
