I had this (or a very similar) problem with all of the application
Makefiles. Specifically, the distributed `app`/src/Makefile.in files. I
don't have automake, so I was using Makefile.in rather than Makefile.am, from
which Makefile.in is generated by automake.
The problem is that header file dependencies are expressed as
"Library/src/HTxxx.h" rather than "../../Library/src/HTxxx.h". I got around
this by putting a symbolic link in each affected directory:
ksh from top-level directory:
$ for app in ComLine LineMode Listen MiniServ PICS-client Robot
> do
> ln -s ../../Library $app/src/Library
> done
$ ln -s ../../PICS-client LineMode/src/PICS-client
Quick and dirty, but effective.
