Yes, manual cp is almost never necessary (also mkinstalldirs
is a bit obsolete now, use mkdir_p).
To create an install/uninstall rule couple, just add
fooappdir = $(datadir)/applications
fooapp_DATA = foo.desktop
You can also add something like
install-data-hook:
$(UPDATE_DESKTOP_DATABASE) $(DESTDIR)$(datadir)/applications
$(UPDATE_MIME_DATABASE) $(DESTDIR)$(datadir)/mime
uninstall-hook:
$(UPDATE_DESKTOP_DATABASE) $(DESTDIR)$(datadir)/applications
$(UPDATE_MIME_DATABASE) $(DESTDIR)$(datadir)/mime
but this should be inside an automake conditional -- first,
desktop-file-utils might be unavailable so they need
a configure check, second, this is counterproductive when
building a distro package and installling into a staging
area.
None of this is actually related to Gtk+...
