Is there maybe a solution, which doesn't require GNU > make here? In case $(schemas_in_files) is known at configure time: configure.ac: mydatafiles=`echo "$schemas_in_files" | sed 's/.schemas.in$//;$program_transform_name;s/$/.schemas/'` AC_SUBST([mydatafiles]) Makefile.am: schemas_DATA = @mydatafiles@ Otherwise, I don't see a way to do this portably ATM.
