Re: how to create dependencies for conditional sources

[Roumen Petrov]

Now I understand what is my failure.
First I mix configure substitutions and automake conditionals and second 
in my test case EXTRA_...SOURCES is missing.

Documentation is OK.

I will use conditionals since is more simple although is listed as 
second solution in Documentation.

Thanks,
Roumen
