OK, here is my Makefile.am, which at this point works. But it does not include
the data dependency:
@SET_MAKE@
ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS = -I share/misc/m4
SUFFIXES = .R .pdf
noinst_PLOTS = R_Double_new.pdf sample_distris.pdf
noinst_DATA = R_Double_new.histo
noinst_R = R_Double_new.R sample_distris.R
noinst_SCRIPTS=
if !CRB_NO_RSCRIPTS
noinst_SCRIPTS += R_Double_new sample_distris
endif
CLEANFILES = $(noinst_SCRIPTS) $(noinst_PLOTS)
EXTRA_DIST = $(noinst_PLOTS) $(noinst_DATA) $(noinst_R)
do_subst = sed \
-e 's,[@]RSCRIPT[@],$(CRB_RSCRIPT),g' \
-e 's,[@]configure_input[@],Generated from $@.R; do not edit by hand.,g'
.R:
rm -f $@ .$@.tmp
$(do_subst) $(srcdir)/$@.R >.$@.tmp
chmod +x .$@.tmp
chmod a-w .$@.tmp
mv -f .$@.tmp $@
.R.pdf:
./$*
all-local: $(noinst_PLOTS)
greetings & thanks for looking at my stuff,
Stefan
