Sorry about that.  I've modified the Makefile.am.

Since the last time we discussed this, I found this in the Autoconf
manual:

   11.13.2 `$<' Not Supported in Explicit Rules
   --------------------------------------------

   Using `$<' in explicit rules is not portable.  The prerequisite file
   must be named explicitly in the rule.  If you want to find the
   prerequisite via a `VPATH' search, you have to code the whole thing
   manually.  *Note Build Directories::.

Regards,


Tony.
