hi
In order to better keep track of what I installed, I am trying to build
an RPM package for Sane on my Fedora 10 box.
This fails as the config files do not get installed. This seems to be
caused by the install-becfg target in backend/Makefile.am
@list="$(BACKEND_CONFS_ENABLED) saned.conf dll.conf"; for cfg in
$$list; do \
if test ! -r $${cfg}; then continue; fi; \
if test -f $(DESTDIR)$(configdir)/$${cfg}; then \
echo NOT overwriting $${cfg} in $(configdir)...; \
else \
echo installing $${cfg} in $(configdir)/$${cfg}...; \
$(INSTALL_DATA) $${cfg} $(DESTDIR)$(configdir)/$${cfg} \
|| exit 1; \
fi; \
done
but the files are not copied: when we get here DESTDIR appears not to be
set anymore:

NOT overwriting abaton.conf in /etc/sane.d...
NOT overwriting agfafocus.conf in /etc/sane.d...
NOT overwriting apple.conf in /etc/sane.d...
I have no idea where to look for the cause. Or am I missing something
obvious? In the makefile I see that the install-becfg is triggered by
install-dat-hook, which in its turn is called by install-data-am which
does $(MAKE) $(AM_MAKEFLAGS) install-data-hook. So is DESTDIR missing
from AM_MAKEFLAGS? I am afraid I do not know enough of autoconf to
understand all logic involved. Suggestions?
As a side-note: RPM barfs when a package name has more than one dash in
it. Would it be possible to change the package version in configure.in
so it does not contain a dash, e.g. to 1.1.0cvs?
thanks in advance for the help
