Hi! Thanks! It worked beautifully, other than the fact that the dist_pkgsysconfdir_DATA was flagged as an error and I had to split it up into pkgsysconfdir_DATA and EXTRA_DIST. But that is probably because my automake version is 1.4
What I am curious is why do I have to always specify directories relative to the default ones available?(e.g. prefix,sysconfdir,libdir, etc.) . What if I wanted to add a new one to the default list? e.g. if I want an "optdir" to be calculated relative to the buildroot, and whilemaking a dist it is by default set to $builddir/opt and during "make install" is set to /opt ? - Sandip >>>> <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: > > > But if I specify "--sysconfdir=/etc/package" , > > sysconfig defaults to ${prefix}/etc. The installer will > probably want to specify --sysconfdir=/etc, not /etc/package. > > > and I have some files to put in "/etc/init.d" as well as > > "/etc/package", how would I be specifying the targets? > > pkgsysconfdir = $(sysconfdir)/$(PACKAGE) > dist_pkgsysconf_DATA = package.conf.sample > initsysconfdir = $(sysconfdir)/init.d > dist_initsysconf_DATA = package.conf.sample2 > > [...] > > -- > Alexandre Duret-Lutz
