i'm trying to package splint, which uses automake/autoconf. the main problem is that when i install the packages, it puts all the files that should go in /usr/local/splint/share into /share. :(
the packager's maintenance guide says that you don't have to hack makefiles for programs that use autoconf/automake because dh_make does it for you, so i really haven't monkeyed with install directories. perhaps i'm doing something wrong. are there any gotchas for automake/autoconf that people may suggest? also, for applications that install their man page via autoconf/make makefiles, do i still need to use dh_installman to install man pages? do i use dh_installman on the man page where it is, or should i put their man page in the debian/ directory? pete -- The mathematics [of physics] has become ever more abstract, rather than more complicated.
