'DATA' is an anachronism

["David Carter" <david at carter dot net>]

Can someone please point me to documentation on The Right Way [tm] to specify that a file is a data file to be installed into the same directory with a program?

 

Based on what (I thought) I read in the Autobook, I tried something like this:

 

DATA = xyz.dat

 

When running automake, I get a message something like “’DATA’ is an anachronism”.

 

Thanks in advance.

 

(Please copy me on the response – I don’t think I’m currently subscribed to the automake list.)
