A.30 starxxx_DATA -- special installation directories

There are several makefile variables which help you install files in special directories. These are the variables stardocs_DATA, staretc_DATA, starexamples_DATA, starhelp_DATA and starnews_DATA (there is also starfacs_DATA, for facility files, but this is handled for you, and you should not need to refer to this explicitly). In the Makefile.am the variable has as value a list of files to be installed as data in the corresponding place.

The list of documentation files is not necessarily known in advance, since the macro STAR_LATEX_DOCUMENTATION has a default list of targets it will generate. You can give the value of the stardocs_DATA as a substitution variable:


stardocs_DATA = @STAR_LATEX_DOCUMENTATION@
(plus any other documentation files you require). See Section 4.6 for more discussion.
