Hi list,
I have a project that requires some shell scripts to be built from .in
files (to fill in some path variables).
To do this substitution, I followed the directions in section 4.7.2 of the
autoconf manual. Basically, use sed to replace @variable@ with its
expansion from the generated makefile.
In the distribution, I want to include only the .in files and not the
derived files. When installing, I want to install only the derived files
and not the .in files. So far my Makefile.am looks like this:
[snip]
# runme doesn't get included in the distribution.
runtemplate_DATA = runme
DISTCLEANFILES = runme
# all the .in files are included in the distribution. But they are also
installed (because of _DATA, I presume).
dist_runtemplate_DATA = \
[snip]
runme.in \
[snip]
[snip]
How can I install only the derived files, but distribute only the base?
Thank you kindly,
Brad Larsen
