Re: how to make "make all" and "make distcheck" *both* work???

[Alexandre Duret-Lutz]

[...]
| "make all" works if I use "AM_CPPFLAGS = -I ../lib" in the Makefile.am
| of the exe, but than "make distcheck" does not work (hello.hpp cannot be
| found)

That would be AM_CPPFLAGS = -I$(srcdir)/../lib

| Can anyone give me a hint or a complet working example that is just as
| simple as my example

Sure.  See this tutorial
http://www-src.lip6.fr/homepages/Alexandre.Duret-Lutz/autotools.html
slides 86 (VPATH builds) and 87 (using a library like you did).
