Hi, INSTALL_SCRIPT does not set the protections of files to be installed with it, i.e. in Makefiles it typically expands into INSTALL_SCRIPT = ${INSTALL}
INSTALL_DATA however sets the the protections of files to be installed, INSTALL_DATA = ${INSTALL} -m 644 Is this behavior intentional? At least to me, this behavior seems inconsistent (I don't understand why automake wants to set permissions on _DATA and not on _SCRIPTS.) Background: I am using bin_SCRIPTS to install some script generated scripts. Inside of the build directory, the generated scripts do not have their executable file permissions set. Ralf
