I don't understand this question, sorry. It's possible both to read and to manipulate files in both the configure.ac script as well as in a Makefile.am rule. So if that was the question, then the answer is yes. If you're asking whether there is a variable predefined by Automake that will cause some special action pertaining to .desktop files, similarly to how bin_PROGRAMS will cause it's contents to be built from its sources, then no, there is no such special Automake action variable that I know of. Automake knows little about graphical desktop environments. Hope that helps. If it doesn't, then you may want to describe in more detail what you are trying to achieve. Cheers, Ralf
