OK. I saw that the approach above was not as simple as I thought, so
here's the brute-force approace. Append this to the end of configure.in
and re-run autoconf to get the configure script:
[Nothing close to robust, but this was the fastest to write
dnl
dnl fix src/refreshd/src/make.defs [TODO: remove this ugly kludge]
dnl
# replace 'INSTALL=../../../install-sh' with
'INSTALL=../../../../install-sh'
if perl -e 'print "perl can run"' >/dev/null 2>&1; then
perl -p -i \
-e 's|^INSTALL=\.\./\.\./\.\./install-sh$|INSTALL=../../../../install-sh|' \
src/refreshd/src/make.defs
else
# and if this system does not have perl?
# Well, if a system lacks both bsd install and perl, I consider it totally
# broken and leave the fixing job to whoever tries to build it on such a
# system
AC_MSG_WARN(In src/refreshd/src/make.defs replace
'INSTALL=../../../install-sh' with 'INSTALL=../../../../install-sh')
