Oww... what a complication, having to do this separately for
$(man1dir), $(man5dir), $(htmldir), $(infodir)... Isn't there
a way to tell install to filter each file before installation?
Hmmm... It seems there is! After adding these two lines to
doc/man/Makefile.am:
INSTALL = install -s --strip-program=../sedscript
export SISSICONF=$(sysconfdir)
and putting in a doc/sedscript file this:
#!/bin/sh
sed -i "s:SYSCONFDIR:${SISSICONF}:" $1
doing an installation works beautifully.
Now the question... is this sane? Portable? Acceptable?
