Hi, Fabrizio Take a look at the Makefile.am in the XrdClient directory: If you want to recourse into subdirectories, you just add a SUBDIRS = dir1 dir2 dir3 statement. Build targets in automake are specified via directives like bin_PROGRAMS = myprogram1 myprogram2 The prefix (bin) defines where the file will be installed, the type (PROGRAM) defines what kind of targets should be built. There is a special prefix "check". This specifies targets that will never be installed and that get only built when a "make check" is given. This is specially designed for tests that are run after the initial build to check the package's sanity. The variable TESTS hold the name of the tests to be run. "Info Automake" should provide you with quite some information as well as the autobook (chapter 7.7): http://sources.redhat.com/autobook/autobook/autobook_toc.html I can gladly help you to get started if you have specific questions.
