Hi,

If I just use:

dist_pkgdata_DATA = bkgd1.jpg bkgd2.jpg bkgd3.jpg


$(pkgdata) itself, i.e. /usr/local/share/tuxmath.


installed in the desired location?

I'm trying to rewrite my Makefile.am's to make better use of Automake's built-in variables. I'm a little stuck on how to get my program's (tuxmath) data files installed in a heirarchical tree. My current scheme puts the data as /usr/local/share/tuxmath/images, /usr/local/share/tuxmath/images/ backgrounds, in my Makefile.am for the backgrounds subdirectory, the files just wind up in Is there a proper, automated, "Automake Way" to get the whole data tree

Hi David,

  nobase_dist_pkgdata_DATA = images/vortex.pgm sounds/whirl.ogg

create the directory hierarchy in your source tree and then list all the files in nobase_dist_pkgdata_DATA, e.g.: See: http://www.gnu.org/software/automake/manual/html_node/ Alternative.html
