That is strange, I thought that installing packages under the default prefix of /usr/local was the normal way to install development packages. BTW, my solution for right now will be to use the 'dist-hook' target to add a stub Makefile to my projects' source tarballs. My stub makefile will be named Makefile.stub and the relevant lines in Makefile.am will be: dist-hook: cp Makefile.stub $(distdir)/Makefile I will post the stub Makefile to this mailing list when it is finished.
