I have this rule in my Makefile.am: install-data-local: $(mkinstalldirs) $(docdir)/manual $(INSTALL_DATA) $(srcdir)/manual/* $(docdir)/manual
This breaks the "distcheck" target; because apparently distcheck's _inst directory is not writable when this rule is run. mkdir -p -- /home/braden/src/openvrml/openvrml/BUILD/openvrml-0.13.99/_inst/share/doc/openvrml-0.13.99/manual mkdir: cannot create directory `/home/braden/src/openvrml/openvrml/BUILD/openvrml-0.13.99/_inst/share/doc/openvrml-0.13.99/manual': Permission denied Why is _inst not writable? Is there a correct way of doing what I'm trying to do? (Explicity listing all the files in the "manual" subdirectory is impractical; that is why I have not used the DATA primary.) -- Braden McDaniel e-mail: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://endoframe.com> Jabber: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
