Hi, searching the web I found suggestions to use install-exec-hook and from there issue chown/chmod as needed. However, some years ago I had found instructions for setting those in Makefile.am like so:
helloexecdir = @MY_AC_STUFF@ helloexec_PROGRAMS = whatever helloexecPROGRAMS_INSTALL = $(INSTALL_PROGRAM)@MY_OTHER_AC_STUFF@ First line still works, third one does not. MY_OTHER_AC_STUFF contains the required -o and -g options to install; the variable is defined but not used. Is that possibility gone for good? Are hooks the only way? TIA Ale P.S. I'm using automake 1.11.6 (Debian wheezy)
