It's clear, I put SUBDIRS line in my src/Makefile.am and modify
configure.ac but, it doesn't work. When I launch automake, he said he
has not found file src/interface/Makefile.in (this message for all
subdirs of src/).

If I understand, Makefile.in are generated with informations enclosed in
Makefile.am. But I have no Makefile.am in subdirs of src/. I have only
sources files (.hh and .cc), and nothing to do with these (but object
file to build the program define in src/Makefile.am).

So, what can I do, can I create empty Makefile.am in all subdirs of src/
or must I do anything else?

Thanks,
