I am looking for a portable method that will allow me to change the location of files installed into the sysconfir ($prefix/etc). Right now my Makefile.am contains: dist_sysconf_DATA = \ db_config.xml \ file_config.xml \ memory_config.xml I want to install them to a named sub-directory in $prefix/etc. Also I would like to have a entry made into config.h giving this location as well or a flag used by the preprocessor. This way the program knows where the default directory is to start looking for the configuration files.
