automake , I am is needing help

[<pl...@pi...>]

Hi,

I'm trying to follow the tortuous workings of automake to add a new dir
for svg javascript. I am is needing help ;)

I want to copy the use of the postscriptdir and have defined varibable
javascriptdir but cannnot see how to add this to the list of installdirs
to get it created and populated.

term/Makefile:am__installdirs = "$(DESTDIR)$(luadir)"
"$(DESTDIR)$(postscriptdir)"


maybe someone familiar with this could point me in the right direction.

I have modified svg.trm to read in a script from that dir and insert it
as a <script> tag at the top of the SVG output. That much works so I
have a mechanism within gnuplot to add interactive content to svg.


thanks , Peter.

I am a bit confused.
Are you talking about adding a new directory to the cvs source tree?
That has nothing in particular to do with automake.
The commands would be:
    mkdir temp/javascriptdir
    cp $my-new-stuff/* temp/javascriptdir
    cvs add term/javascriptdir
    cvs commit -m 'Add javascriptdir to the source tree'
But you can't do that unless you have write access to the cvs tree.

Still confused, but perhaps you want:

 postscriptdir = $(pkgdatadir)/$(VERSION_MAJOR)/PostScript

That will ensure that your new directory is included in a tarball of the
distributed package.  I suggest that naming this directory simply "svg"
would be better than "javascriptdir", because it might end up holding
other svg-related things that are not javascript.

No, that will have to be done later to set up any fixed files to be
distributed like the postscript files but for now I have created them
locally.

What I want to do in ensure the new dir is created and installed by
'make install'. It would seem it has to get included in am__installdirs
but I cant see how.

thanks.

The attached patch should do it.
Season to taste if the files are called something other than *.js
