 Alexandre, I am confused as to how to run automake.

I have added a subdirectory
kaffe/kaffevm/systems/linux-threads.
In this subdir, I placed the appropriate Makefile.am
(I just copied one from the neighboring dirs)

Now I want to create the corresponding
kaffe/kaffevm/systems/linux-threads/Makefile.in
which automake should do, right?

So I added the linux-threads dir to the line of dirs in
kaffe/kaffevm/systems/Makefile.am

like so:

DIST_SUBDIRS = unix-internal unix-jthreads oskit-pthreads linux-threads

Then I ran
        aclocal; automake; autoconf; autoheader -l config

with ~oliva/bin in my path first.

However, no Makefile.in was created.
I tried running automake in the linux-threads, but it complained about
not being able to find configure.in.

How do I do it?
Do I have touch an empty Makefile.in so that automake updates it.

I also tried to --enable-maintainer-mode, but this got me only to the
segfault I showed in my last email.
Which leads to my next question: if you configure with an option that
implies to only include a certain part of the tree, such as with-engine
or with-threads, does that mean that in maintainer mode only those
Makefile.in will be updated?
