[Fwd: Can nobase_pkgdata_DATA take directories? Does not seam so.]

[Hans Deragon <hans at deragon dot biz>]

Mmm...  Posted this message two days ago but have yet to receive any answer.  I 
believe my question is pretty basic, so anybody care to give me an answer? 
Surely someone with years of experience can answer this newbie's question?


Thanks in advance,
Hans Deragon

Greetings.

nobase_pkgdata_DATA = \
  engine \
  smarty/lib \
  smarty/plugins \
  smarty/themes/examples

Above, all of the entries in nobase_pkgdata_DATA are directories.  However, when
I am performing "make install", I get the error (Same error for the other
directories):

cp: omitting directory `./smarty/themes/examples'

This is because install.sh calls the cp command without the -r parameter.

Is it possible to define directories in nobase_pkgdata_DATA?  I want to avoid to
list the files because they change allot during development and can become numerous.

In the Automake documentation, all the examples use files, but nowhere have I
found some warning that directories do not work.


Best regards,
Hans Deragon
