In typical automake builds the configure step takes the Makefile.am from the srcdir and generates the Makefile in the builddir. Most src/mod subdirs are not using automake and/or configure. They just have a simple Makefile in with the source.

What I see as the problem is in src/mod/Makefile.am There is a statement line 12 that points moddir to the source if test -d "$(switch_srcdir)/src/mod/$$confmoddir" ; then \ moddir = "$(switch_srcdir)/src/mod/$$confmoddir" ; And then the statements starting around line 22 that cd to moddir (in src) and fire off make if test -f "$$moddir/Makefile" ; then \ <-- Yep, this will be true cd $$moddir && . && $(MAKE) I'm not sure what to change to get it to build in $(switch_builddir), and getting the source automatically from $(switch_srcdir). My old-fashion brute-force idea is to symlink the source src/mod/subdirs in the build src/mod/subdirs right before line 12, changing line 12 to use $(switch_builddir). Does anybody have a better idea?

I looked them over real quick and they look right, maybe try throwing some debug echo statements in there or build with env var of VERBOSE=1 to see more of what is going on and toss a patch to correct the issue on jira for me.

I can configure successfully and have make working for switch files and the libraries, but I am having trouble with the modules in src/mod. They still compile in the src/mod folders.
