Hello. Is it possible to set the permission bits used by the default install target in a Makefile.am?
To help try and illustrate what I mean, I present a code snippet from one of my Makefie.am files. >>>>>>>>>> Begin code snippet >>>>>>>>>> gimpdir = ${prefix} gimp_SCRIPTS = scaleAndSetSize.py \ ScaleAndSetSizeClass.py .PHONY: install install: mkdir -p ${prefix} ${INSTALL} -m 544 scaleAndSetSize.py ${prefix} ${INSTALL} -m 444 ScaleAndSetSizeClass.py ${prefix} <<<<<<<<<< End code snippet <<<<<<<<<< My problem with this code snippet is - I don't like the fact that I have overridden the default install target to get the files installed with the permission bits set the way I want. Rather, I'd like to have the default install target do the install work for me, using permission bits that I would like to specify. Does anybody know if this is possible? I believe in Autoconf you can do something similar to the following; AC_CONFIG_FILES([scaleAndSetSize.py], [chmod a+x scaleAndSetSize.py]) If there was something in Automake like the following; AM_INSTALL_PERMS([scaleAndSetSize.py], [544], [ScaleAndSetSizeClass.py], [444]) then this might be able to solve my problem. Thanks in advance for any assistance.
