I have attached a patch expanding the section about data files. Of
course feel free to correct any obvious mistakes since believe it or
not

Actually I have noticed that
nobase_dist_foo_DATA = takes care about subdirectories creation, which
is really, really good.
I suggest adding a reminder of
Hi,
First, you've lost the list again.
Second, subdirectories may be uninstalled by using uninstall-hook as follows:
(presuming the stuff from the foodir example)
uninstall-hook:
rmdir $(foodir)
Uninstall-hook is run after make uninstall has completed, so the directory may
be safely remov

Hello Matej, Remco,
First off, please do not top-post, and do not full-quote the messages
you reply to, unless you address each of the quoted bits. Otherwise,
you will have a hard time getting useful comments on this list. Thanks.

Thank you for your reply,
I guess that it does the job concerning instalation, but in this world,
nothing is usually perfect :-):
1. What about `make uninstall`? Will the files be removed if they were
installed in that way?
2. This requires the user to write shell scripts in Makefile.am, which
is,
Hi,
ah yes, that is a problem, in that case,
you could do something like this in Makefile.am:
dirs = some_data_dir some_other_data_dir
install-data-local:
for d in $(dirs); \
do\
cp -Rv $d $(datadir)\
done
Would this solution be acceptable?

Thank you for you reply!
Well, I thought that it can be done somehow like this, but I don't like
the solution for two reasons:
1. I have to list all the files I want to install here. This may make
the Makefile.am really huge and since datafiles change much more often
than source files, maintaining
Thank you,
I see that I can clarify the issue a little bit more:
I now really think that this is more automake than autoconf related.
There are two challenges connected with that:
1. I have to tell the code what is the correct path to those datafiles,
which I had correctly accomplished by including
