Hi Bernd et al,
Thanks, but it didn't quite work. However, I tried something slightly
different that does seem to work.

Here is the target cut and pasted from my Makefile.am (it is all on one line
but here appears wrapped in my mail program):
dist_with_fonts:
$(MAKE) $(AM_MAKEFLAGS) dist_fonts='AndikaDesRevG.ttf DoulosSILR.ttf
Rachana_w01.ttf' PACKAGE_TARNAME=tuxtype-f dist
But it still comes out as "tuxtype-1.5.15.tar.gz". Looking through the
Makefile, it appears that the tarball gets named after distdir, not
PACKAGE_TARNAME. So I tried setting distdir to $(PACKAGE)_f-$(VERSION), as
below, and it works:
(again, this is all on one line in the actual Makefile.am)
dist_with_fonts:
$(MAKE) $(AM_MAKEFLAGS) distdir=$(PACKAGE)_f-$(VERSION)
dist_fonts='AndikaDesRevG.ttf DoulosSILR.ttf Rachana_w01.ttf' dist
The target now generates the file tuxtype_f-1.5.15.tar.gz
So, now it seems to work exactly as I intended, but is this the right way to
do it? Is it "OK" to reset variables such as distdir in this way?
Anyway, thanks - I'm learning!
