I tried the simplese example, where the top-level Makefile.am were:
EXTRA_DIST = html
install-data-local:
$(MKDIR_P) $(DESTDIR)$(datadir)/$(PACKAGE)/html
for f in a b; do \
$(INSTALL_DATA) $(srcdir)/html/$$f \
$(DESTDIR)$(datadir)/$(PACKAGE)/html; done
uninstall-local:
rm $(DESTDIR)$(datadir)/$(PACKAGE)/html/[ab]
-rmdir $(DESTDIR)$(datadir)/$(PACKAGE)/html
And make distcheck passed.
Could you please post the error message from distcheck?
Or even better, could you post a self-contained example made from
your project which I could edit to get it through distcheck?
[When I get to it. No promises, sorry.]
Have a nice day,
Stepan
