In the source tree or after installation? For the former: cd $source_tree mkdir doc mv AUTHORS COPYING ChangeLog NEWS TODO doc add EXTRA_DIST += doc/AUTHORS doc/COPYING doc/ChangeLog ... to the toplevel Makefile.am, and add the foreign option to the AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE invocation in configure.ac: AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE([foreign]) If you care about having the files installed in $(docdir), then you can write something like dist_doc_DATA = AUTHORS COPYING ChangeLog NEWS TODO Hope that helps.
