    Hi all,

    I have no idea how to add new dependency (file extention is .b, e.g.
    file.b), which depends on C++ header file file.h, in Makefile.am?

    For example, file.b depends on file.h and the suffix rule is as follows:

    >.h.b:
    > bgen $< >$@

    File extention ".b" should be new for Automake so that I added the
    following at the top of Makefile.am:

    >SUFFIXES = .b

    Any othe related is as follows:

    >bin_PROGRAMS = x
    >x_SOURCES = main.cpp file.h file.b

    main.cpp includes file.h and file.h includes file.b.

    Unfortunately, when I run "make", at the compiling main.cpp, it failes
    because file.b doesn't exist. file.b should be generated by bgen
    as I tried to define at suffix rule.

    Could anyone help me why?

    Best Regards,
    Wells
