With v1.16 this step is executed during `make dist` and using `EXTRA_DIST` for that whole directory would also mean that _the built library_ would be included in the dist.
`EXTRA_DIST` only goes so far. In my own project I use `dist-hook` to bundle up foreign subdirectories which I am too lazy to fully describe or which are too fluid to bake into Makefile.am. For example:
# Non-Automake subdirectories to distribute DISTDIRS = locale scripts www PerlMagick TclMagick dist-hook: ( \ builddir=`pwd` ; \ cd $(srcdir) && \ ( \ for dir in $(DISTDIRS) ; do \ find $$dir -depth -print | egrep -v '(~$$)|(/\.hg)|(/\.#)|(/\.deps)|(\.pyc)' \ | cpio -pdum $$builddir/$(distdir) 2> /dev/null ; \ done \ ) \ ) -- Bob Friesenhahn bfrie...@simple.dallas.tx.us, http://www.simplesystems.org/users/bfriesen/ GraphicsMagick Maintainer, http://www.GraphicsMagick.org/ Public Key, http://www.simplesystems.org/users/bfriesen/public-key.txt
