I am maintaining a project, GNU Songanizer, which basically consists of a shell script. I am using autoconf/automake to generate the Makefiles by the help of the configure script to maintain GNU compatibility. Hence during installation there is nothing to be compiled. Only the script (ie. bin/songanizer) and the man page (doc/songanizer.1) has to be copied from the bin and doc sub-directories of the installation directory to somewhere like /usr/local/bin and /usr/local/man, etc..
The problem is that if #make install is followed by $make clean, the shell script gets deleted from the bin subdirectory of the extracted tarball. Obviously the problem is because there is no separate source file and executable file as the shell script plays a dual role. How do I write the Makefile.am to avoid this? Following is the Makefile.am in the root installation directory: EXTRA_DIST = AUTHORS ChangeLog COPYING README THANKS SUBDIRS = bin doc MAINTAINERCLEANFILES = Makefile.in configure Following is the Makefile.am in the bin directory: MAINTAINERCLEANFILES = Makefile.in bin_PROGRAMS = songanizer songanizer_SOURCES = songanizer Any help in this regard would be highly appreciated, since I am a newbie with respect to autoconf/automake and reading the postscript documentation has not been able to solve this problem. Thank you, Debarshi Ray
