That's what I'm doing now and everything nearly works as I want it to.
I got a bit confused and tried adding VPATH explicitly in the OPTIONS.

I have several applications that want to use the same home-rolled
library. Currently each application and library is a separate source
tree with its own autotools tree.

I've been adding
CFLAGS and LDFLAGS to the configure command, but this seems to cause
problems with LIBTOOLS as it tries to link the library that it is
creating - which causes an error.

thanks
