I have a Makefile.am file in my source folder and some makefile.in in some subdiretories. Everything works fine but I've noticed that when I do a make dist the tarball doesn't include the makefile.in in the subdirectories. Also because of this, make distcheck fails.

    Are the subdirectories listed in `SUBDIRS` clauses? More importantly, are the sub/Makefiles listed in configure.ac in AC_CONFIG_FILES? – William Pursell May 28 '12 at 12:01

I believe the only way this can happen is if you fail to specify the subdirectory is a SUBDIRS clause of the appropriate higher level Makefile.am, although it seems strange that 'everything works fine' if that is the case. Unless you are actually naming the makefile.in with a lower case m, in which case you would need to add that file to EXTRA_DIST, but the better solution would probably be to use the standard name with upper-case M.
