Not sure which bit you're having problems with. Something like nonobase_sysconf_DATA = myproject/config myproject/config: @command to create config file ... ? > This would have to be done in "make install", right? Well, at install files, sysconf_* files are installed to ${sysconfdir}, quoting standards.info: `sysconfdir' The directory for installing read-only data files that pertain to a single machine-that is to say, files for configuring a host. Mailer and network configuration files, `/etc/passwd', and so forth belong here. All the files in this directory should be ordinary ASCII text files. [...] Hope that helps. Cheers, Ralf
