configure can't find doc/Makefile.in

[Adrienne Thompson]

Gentlemen:

I'm running Debian Lenny GNU/Linux 5.0 on a pentium 3, and I've 
installed the latest autotools.

I've just created a doc subdirectory for a .texi manual in my current 
project build. Configure appears to have no problem creating the 
Makefiles for all subdirectories. However, running "make distcheck" 
terminates with the error message:

"config.status: error: cannot find input file: 'doc/Makefile.in' "

Installation of the resulting tarball produces an installation with 
missing directories. I've done a fair bit of googling but have been 
unable to resolve the problem. Would you be kind enough to give me some 
pointers?


Here are the logs:

address@hidden:~/project$ make distcheck 2> distcheckerrorlog
address@hidden:~/project$ more distcheckerrorlog

config.status: error: cannot find input file: `doc/Makefile.in'
make: *** [distcheck] Error 1


I believe the distcheck "Error 1" is due to files left behind in the 
build directory, which I'll have to write additional "clean" rules for 
in the Makefiles.
