Hi automake maintainers,
the -t parameter of install-sh is supposed to accept a target directory.
If it is given a file or a name of a non-existent file/directory, the
source is copied into this file. For example, if I have a file foo and do
install-sh -t foo2 foo
I will have the two files foo and foo2. install-sh should abort whenever
the argument of the -t option is not a directory, just like install
does. Attached is a patch that fixes the issue.
Best regards,
Tobias Hansen
