You could add a line doc_DATA = COPYRIGHT COPYING or you could replace this and the EXTRA_DIST line above with dist_doc_DATA = COPYRIGHT COPYING Please note that the docdir variable is new in Autoconf-2.60, so if you happen to use an older Autoconf version together with your Automake, then you also need something along the lines of docdir = ${datadir}/doc Please also note that the file `COPYING' is special in that automake will always distribute it if found. The list of such special files can be found at the end of the output of automake --help Hope that helps. Cheers, Ralf
