Re: How to create special config directories?

[<sandip at mindsw dot com>]

Hi!
Thanks! It worked beautifully, other than the fact that
the dist_pkgsysconfdir_DATA  was flagged as an error and
I had to split it up into pkgsysconfdir_DATA and EXTRA_DIST.
But that is probably because my automake version is 1.4

What I am curious is why do I have to always specify directories
relative to the default ones available?(e.g. prefix,sysconfdir,libdir,
etc.) . What if I wanted to add a new one to the default list? e.g. if I
want an "optdir" to be calculated relative to the buildroot, and whilemaking a dist it is by default set to $builddir/opt and during "make
install" is set to /opt ?
