executable scripts produced by AC_OUTPUT?

[Irek Szczesniak]

In my configure.in the AC_OUTPUT macro produces the fsclien.sh script. 
 This script does not get installed.  I want this file to have the 
executable permission set.  The file fsclient.sh.in has the right 
permissions, but unfortunately they do not get transferred to fsclient.sh.


In my Automake.am I tried:
noinst_SCRIPTS = fsclient.sh

But it didn't help.

Is there a way of achieving my goal?

Thanks for reading.


Best,
Irek

Do it like this:
AC_CONFIG_FILES([fsclient.sh], [chmod +x fsclient.sh])
AC_CONFIG_FILES([other config files..])

See
  info Autoconf 'Configuration Files'
for more info.

BTW, this is an Autoconf question rather than an Automake question (but
it's really difficult to tell unless you already know the answer :).

i believe this can be handled completely by autoconf,
w/o involving automake.  try placing in configure.ac:

AC_CONFIG_FILES([fsclient.sh],[chmod +x fsclient.sh])
AC_OUTPUT

tested w/ GNU Autoconf 2.59.

BUILT_SOURCES too clumsy

[Harald Dunkel]

Hi folks,

The targets in BUILT_SOURCES are unconditionally built for
'make all' and 'make install' and 'make check'. Very clumsy.
I would like to generate some code for an optional convenience
library exactly when needed.

Would there be a way to introduce a derived variable
libmylib_a_PREDEPEND, similar to BUILT_SOURCES, but bound to
the primary to build?
