For some reason that doesn't work. When I run
autogen.sh I get:
conf/Makefile.am:1: invalid variable
`dist_sysconf_DATA'
I'm using automake version 1.4-p4
If I remove the dist_ it installs fine. I know the
dist_ is supposed to include the file with the
distribution, so can I get by with typing
sysconf_DATA = foo.conf
EXTRA_DIST = foo.conf
or is that frowned upon. It gets the job done, but it
might not be "The right way".
