Where to put helper-scripts with GNU autoconf/automake?

Question

I\'m working on a project that will be distributed with GNU autoconf/automake, and I have a set of bash scripts which call awk scripts. I would like the bash scripts to end

Answer 1

Add something like this to Makefile.am

scriptsdir = $(prefix)/bin
scripts_DATA = awkscript1 awkscript2

In this case it will install awkscript in $(prefix)/bin (you can also use $(bindir)).

Note: Dont forget that the first should be named name + dir (scripts -> scriptsdir) and the second should be name + _DATA (scripts -> scripts_DATA).
