Provided you want to install your myconfig.h containing the macros MY_MACRO_1 and MY_MACRO_2 into $prefix/include/mylib, you may add the following to your Makefile.am: all-local: myconfig.h myconfig.h: config.h echo "Creating myconfig.h" rm -fR myconfig.h grep -e "MY_MACRO_1\|MY_MACRO_2" > myconfig.h install-data-local: all-local echo "Creating myconfig.h" $(mkinstalldirs) $(includedir)/mylib $(INSTALL_DATA) myconfig.h $(includedir)/mylib/myconfig.h I hope the code above is correct.
