FWIW, I don't know Pro*C.  There is no special support for it in
Automake.  That doesn't mean you can't use it, though.  There is
some general information on using generated sources in the manual:
<http://www.gnu.org/software/automake/manual/html_node/Sources.html>
<http://www.gnu.org/software/automake/manual/html_node/Support-for-Other-Languages.html>

Likely in the same way you'd write a plain Makefile rule for doing this.

PCCOMPILE = proc ...
.pc.c:
        $(PCCOMPILE) ... -o $@ $<

No sorry.  You can probably find out in the Pro*C documentation how to
invoke the precompiler.

Hope that helps.

Cheers,
