Re: Makefile.in

[David Burg]

Hello,

In fact, I'm also a newbie about autotools, but as far as I understand, the
Makefile.in is a simple standard makefile where variables @VAR_NAME@ are set
by the configure script. You need only one Makefile.in in case you have a
project that use several folders.

Best regards,

David Burg.
