make dist

[Juergen W. <wie...@fr...>]

Hi,

"make dist" generally isn't very stable.  The attached patch has got
it working for me at least for one computer.  It explicitly includes
the source files in demo/html instead of the directory.  Is there a
better way to include demo/html?

While in demo/html/: Shouldn't GNUPLOT_LIB be set to .. for
webify.pl by default?  I don't know how to achieve that without
overwriting some prior value, though.

 The current method works just fine for me, and I check make dist on an
 irregular basis. Are your auto* tools up to date?

 It is set to ".." in the Makefile, or are you refering to webify.pl itself?
 Ethan should be able to answer this one ...

It works for me if I let everything default.
It fails if I first do ./configure --without-lisp-files, which is
my normal build mode.  Not a big deal, since presumably for distribution
you would not want to disable lisp.

The webify script inherits GNUPLOT_LIB from its calling environment.
That is true whether you run it yourself, or as part of the "make"
process.

I have automake-1.9.5, the newest one is automake-1.9.6, and you are
right, that was the problem.  The installation was quite new, so I
thought ...

The script webify.pl reads the environment variable GNUPLOT_LIB.  If
this one is not set, webify.pl should omit the leading slash in the
resulting path.  So it is not a problem with the Makefile.
