Thank you, understood. But, when I copy samples from automake manual
and do the following:
install-data-hook:
mkdir -p $(DESTDIR)/var/run
and I expect that var/run will be created under my $PREFIX. The
result is not, the var/run was created under my current working
directory. See the following 'make install' outputs:
....
make[3]: Entering directory `/home/woody/lmt/trunk'
mkdir -p var/run
....
Here, /home/woody/lmt/trunk is my working directory, not my $PREFIX.
Did I missed something? Thanks.
