Re: generating a configure script in a subdirectory?

[Juan Luis Baptiste]

But the problem with doing it independently is that the user could 
install the subproject in
a different location of the main project, and the application needs to 
both be installed
in the same directory to function correctly.

Is this not possible to do?

Cheers,
