Hello, I have an autotooled project that has a structure like so:
top src engine front-end tools tool1 tool2 (...) I would like to include the src/tools directory in the distribution, but all of the tools are perl scripts. It seems wasteful to be making Makefile.am's and Makefile.in's which are ten times larger than the tools within each of the directories. I am aware of the possibility of adding "tools/" to EXTRA_DIST in src/Makefile.am, but maybe there is a cleaner solution that I'm missing? I was thinking something along the lines of a hand-writted, very simple Makefile that doesn't have any of the compiling cruft not needed. These scripts are only to be in the source tarball, they don't get installed. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. --Pat
