If you have contents to populate the directory, then the directory will be automatically created: e.g. something like this should work: imagesdir = $(pkgdatadir)/images images_DATA = xxx.jpg yyy.jpg EXTRA_DIST = xxx.jpg yyy.jpg If you don't have contents, then you can trigger automake to create the dir with something similar to this: imagesdir = $(pkgdatadir)/images images_DATA = Ralf _______________________________________________ Autoconf mailing list Autoconf@xxxxxxx http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/autoconf
