Do it like this:

# You can also put the option in the argument to AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE
# in configure.ac.
AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS = subdir-objects

noinst_LIBRARIES = liball.a
liball_a_SOURCES = \
        dir1/lib1.c \
        dir1/lib1.h \
        dir2/lib2.c \
        dir2/lib2.h \
        dir3/lib3.c \
        dir3/lib3.h

Hope that helps.

Cheers,
Ralf
