Right it was a typo ,sorry about those.

That makes sense.

Ok here is the Slightly modified Makefile.am:


bin_PROGRAMS = editorD

TLIB_PATH = /home

AM_CPPFLAGS = -I$(TLIB_PATH)/openal/LINUX -I$(TLIB_PATH)/lungif 
-I$(TLIB_PATH)/lungif -I$(TLIB_PATH)/opengl2d3d -I$(TLIB_PATH)/zlib 
-I$(TLIB_PATH)/lpng -I$(TLIB_PATH)/ljpeg -I$(TLIB_PATH)/vorbis/include


CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH = /usr/include

editorD_CPPFLAGS = $(AM_CPPFLAGS) -DEDITOR_BUILD

editorD_SOURCES = \
someSource.cc \
someAsm.asm


SUFFIXES = .asm.o

..asm.o: $(NASM_PATH) -o $@ -f elf -dLINUX $<





that's located in sub directory called engine and in the root dir I have 
Makefile.am that has only one line:

SUBDIRS = engine





Thanks!

PS: I hope I got that Cc right now?
