make data You won't need to put $(DESTDIR) in exampledir, because automake will handle that for you. It does that, when it generates all the rules. If you want the files in example_DATA to be distributed, you need to prefix it with "dist_". See: info automake data Bye, Rich =] -- Ri

aclocal: Why no short options?

2003-10-22 Thread Richard Dawe
Hello. automake has short options for --verbose and --force-missing. It seems like aclocal could have similar short options for its --verbose and --force. Is there any reason why it doesn't? I would send in a patch, but I can't get any of the needed paperwork. Sigh. Bye, Rich =] -

the start: $PATH_SEPARATOR = @PATH_SEPARATOR@; Then modify bootstrap & Makefile.am to substitute @PATH_SEPARATOR@ like @PACKAGE@, @SHELL@, etc. Then you could use: push (@dirlist, split (/$PATH_SEPARTOR/, $ENV{ACLOCALPATH})); Bye, Rich =] -- Richard Dawe [ http://www.phekda.freeserve.co.uk/richdawe/ ]
