Thanks for the reply and suggestion! Your method did work for placing the
header files in a directory of their own inside the installed include
directory. I used "pkginclude_HEADERS" inside my PackageName sub-directory
that holds my header files, and used SUBDIRS to get to that directory.
However, the name of the directory it created in the installed "include"
directory is based on the package name (as defined in the configure.in
file) and not on the directory from where the headers came from.
I guess I can try extending the installation routines using something like
install-data-local, or install-exec-local to get what I'm trying to do. I
was just hoping there was some way to preserve the directory structure of
the header files to make things a little less complicated.
Thanks!
Pete
