Thanks to all. The suggestion by Thomas won the day. May I say thanks and
assure you that your suspicion is fact.

 

Thanks

The make target refers to a directory (trailing slash). I suspect the
Makefile.am has a typo.

Did you mean to use LIBADD?





It may be wise to construct full paths based on Automake-provided 


variables like
$(top_builddir) rather than using relative paths.
