[sane-devel] [PATCH] Make existing Makefile.in's automake compatible

[Chris Bagwell]

Hi all,

I hope that someone can commit the following patch.  They are minor 
changes to existing Makefiles, except top-level Makefile, to make them 
compatible with automake generate Makefiles.  Changes include:

* Pierre Willenbrock's patch to allow compiling and installing tool's 
directory when build and source directory are not the same.  Needed by 
automake's "distcheck" target.
* Add support for $(DESTDIR) on "uninstall" target to match existing 
support in "install" target.  This is used by automake's "distcheck" target.
* Changed distdir to mean a path related to current Makefile 
(top_distdir would have been a better name for former code) to match 
automake's behavior.
* Add new targets distdir, dvi, check, installcheck, and 
distuninstallcheck to allow running "make distcheck" target when it 
finally exists.

I will send some actual automake specific patches next but hope to get 
these patches incorporated first.  This patch will allow us to implement 
automake support slowly and to only directories we chose.

Chris
