[lug] autoconf/automake

[D. Stimits]

I'm trying to convert a project for autoconf/automake, primarily on
Linux. I'm having problems getting the setup to recognize subdirectories
when looking for source files. If I include a SUBDIRS line in
Makefile.am, it apparently ignores this, and ./configure will end up
saying:
configure: error: can not find sources in . or ..

Can anyone here tell me how to set up subdirectories if the base of the
project has a subdirectory "src", and that in turn has a subdirectory
for a particular program (several programs in the package) in
subdirectory "server"? E.G., ./src/server/ has a project, ./src/client/
has a project. Subdirectories seem to break everything.

Thanks,
