[Sharad Pratap]

I am new to Autoconf, found it very useful

I want my existing which earlier didnot use

autoconf, now what I want to use Autoconf

what problem I am facing my project used

some what different style for arrangement of

source code files, object files, and executable

 files.

And this is working well, So when I tried to use autotools with it

I found in Documentation that I have to put my source code files

in srcdir and which is top_srcdir which in this case c2vcg and 

I want to to seperate srcdir as c2vcg/srcdir

and objects in c2vcg/obj

and executable c2vcg in c2vcg/bin

You can see I made these all arrangement in my c2vcg/Makefile

very well......

If you are bothering that in my source tree c2vcg/bin c2vcg/obj c2vcg/obj

does not exit, then you can see in c2vcg/Makefile 

   -[ ! -d ${objdir} ] && $(MKDIR) ${objdir}

construct, by this I made arrangement to seperate all *.c *.h *.y *.l 
in c2vcg/src
                                                                     
all               *.o in c2vcg/obj
                                                       target
executable c2vcg in c2vcg/bin

SO my question is that this arrangement I can not get even using
Autotools (autoscan, autoconf, autoheader, automake,...etc)

If anyone Please care to reply.
