Subject: install-data-local scheduling not guaranteed
Date: Fri, 03 May 2002 16:01:21 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <E173m3E-00004q-00@giblet> (raw)

in branch_release-1-6 ice-9/Makefile.am, we use `install-data-local' to
install "and-let*.scm".  w/ automake 1.5 (no idea what was before), this
frag is run before the rest of the install, and fails if there is no
destination directory already set up.  the failure is masked by the "-"
action prefix, which is fine (considering the reason for using this
mechanism in the first place -- slackful handling of sites where "*" is
not a valid file name).

automake documentation sez:

so probably we should use `install-data-hook' instead.  i'll test this
and commit changes shortly, presuming all goes well.
