[qub] install: how does this part work?

[stephan b. <st...@wa...>]

Hey, Rusty!

i'm just trying to add to the installation process - create the gameroot and 
that sort of stuff, and i can't for the life of me figure out how the 
following works:

stephan@jareth:~/cvs/qub/gamesets/lib/icons >cat Makefile.am
xpmdir = $(pkgdatadir)/icons

XPMS = $(wildcard *.xpm)
xpm_DATA = $(XPMS)
EXTRA_DIST = $(XPMS)

Okay, i understand the EXTRA_DIST, but how the hell does the install process 
know that $xmpdir is the right dir to send EXTRA_DIST stuff to? Is "xpm_DATA" 
a way of saying "*.xpm goes to $pkgdatadir"?

What i'm trying to do is to install a couple of gcoms built at install-time 
(using the new installation of gcommaker), and maybe copy a sample gameset 
over to ~/gameroot.

i love what you did with the install, splitting it up into the standard 
$prefix/share/, etc. That makes a lot more sense, and the icon loader now 
first looks in gameroot, then in $prefix/share/qub/icons, which makes a lot 
more sense then how it used to be done.

Unrelated: i recently found out that lyx lets you export from the command 
line, so one of these days i can add a check for lyx into configure.ac and 
build the docs from the sources if they've got it.
