Hi, I'm adding a systemd unit to my package. To that end, I'm checking if there is a pkg-config .pc file for systemd which sets a variable "systemdsystemunitdir", and am trying to install the systemd unit in that location.
I'm currently doing this: AC_MSG_CHECKING([for systemd unit file locations]) AC_ARG_ENABLE( systemd, AS_HELP_STRING([--disable-systemd],[Do not install systemd support files (or use --enable-systemd to fail build when not available)]), [ if test "x$enableval" = "xyes"; then ENABLE_SYSTEMD=yes else ENABLE_SYSTEMD=no fi ],[] ) if test "x$ENABLE_SYSTEMD" != "xno"; then PKG_CHECK_VAR([SYSTEMDUNIT],[systemd],systemdsystemunitdir],[AC_SUBST([systemdunitdir], [$SYSTEMDUNIT])]) fi and then in my Makefile.am: if SYSTEMD systemdunit_DATA = nbd@.service endif (if you need the full files, they're in the git repository at git.debian.org/users/wouter/nbd.git) However, now my "make distcheck" fails, because the "make install" target disregards DESTDIR and tries to install files in the actual systemd unit directory, rather than the staging one. Clearly this means I'm doing something wrong, but I'm not sure what the proper way for doing this would be.
