I'm using Automake 1.15 (Debian's automake package version 1:1.15-3) and Autoconf 2.69 (autoconf 2.69-9).
If I generate a header file at runtime, and I want it installed in a subdirectory, it makes sense to use both the nobase_ and nodist_ prefixes. However, these only work as I'd expect if nobase_ is first. Complete project attached, of which the important part is: nobase_pkginclude_HEADERS = foo/bar.h nobase_nodist_pkginclude_HEADERS = foo/nb-nd.h nodist_nobase_pkginclude_HEADERS = foo/nd-nb.h Steps to reproduce: autoreconf -fi && ./configure && make make install DESTDIR=$(pwd)/DESTDIR find DESTDIR -type f Expected result: DESTDIR/usr/local/include/example/foo/bar.h DESTDIR/usr/local/include/example/foo/nb-nd.h DESTDIR/usr/local/include/example/foo/nd-nb.h Alternative result which would also be OK: * Documentation mentions that nobase_ must come before nodist_ if both are used * A warning from automake tells me I've probably made a mistake Actual result: * nd-nb.h is missing * No warning Looking at the generated Makefile, nobase_pkginclude_HEADERS and nobase_nodist_pkginclude_HEADERS are to be installed to $(pkgincludedir) as I would expect, but nodist_nobase_pkginclude_HEADERS are to be installed to $(nobase_pkgincludedir), which is not defined, so they are skipped. -- Simon McVittie Collabora Ltd. <http://www.collabora.com/>
