Hi Ralf,

First of all, thanks for your help.  But, I'm still having
some trouble.

MY_FPPFLAGS="-x f95-cpp-input"
AC_SUBST([MY_FPPFLAGS])

This doesn't work because the final makefile compile lines
are

FCLD = $(FC)
FCLINK = $(FCLD) $(AM_FCFLAGS) $(FCFLAGS) $(AM_LDFLAGS)
$(LDFLAGS) -o $
FCCOMPILE = $(FC) $(AM_FCFLAGS) $(FCFLAGS)

I don't know how to get the MY_FPPFLAGS into the compile
line flags.

I could never get the following line to produce the
substitution.
AC_SUBST([AM_FCFLAGS], [-x f95-cpp-input])

However,

AM_FCFLAGS="-x f95-cpp-input"
AC_SUBST([AM_FCFLAGS])

did produce the right substitution.  But, in either case of
the
AM_FCFLAGS, I still have the original problem of the -x
f95-cpp-input
getting passed to the linker, which completely doesn't work
since the
preprocessor tries to process object files while linking. 
How do I get
the build system to add compile flags that aren't link
flags?  As you
can see above, all the compile flags are also passed to the
linker.

By the way, where is the Automake list?

Thanks,
John
