Installing a directory

[erik wikstrom]

I'm in the process of migrating a small project to the 
autoconf-framework and I'm almost done. The only thing left to fix is 
the installation (make install). The application consists of an binary 
executable file and a directory of images used by the executable. The 
binary is installed as correctly but I can't figure out how to install 
the directory with the images (should go into $PREFIX/share/appname). 
When I try to run make install it fails with "/usr/bin/install: 
`./images/' is a directory" which is true.

How do I tell install that it's supposed to install a directory, is it 
even possible?

I thought of creating a rule in my Makefile.am in which I'd manually 
install the directory and it's contents, however I'm not sure how to 
connect that rule with the make install-rule. Any thoughts on how to do 
this?
