How to install only derived file, not its .in?

[Brad Larsen]

Hi list,

I have a project that requires some shell scripts to be built from .in  
files (to fill in some path variables).

To do this substitution, I followed the directions in section 4.7.2 of the  
autoconf manual.  Basically, use sed to replace @variable@ with its  
expansion from the generated makefile.

In the distribution, I want to include only the .in files and not the  
derived files.  When installing, I want to install only the derived files  
and not the .in files.  So far my Makefile.am looks like this:

[snip]
# runme doesn't get included in the distribution.
runtemplate_DATA = runme
DISTCLEANFILES = runme

# all the .in files are included in the distribution.  But they are also  
installed (because of _DATA, I presume).
dist_runtemplate_DATA = \
        [snip]
        runme.in \
        [snip]
[snip]


How can I install only the derived files, but distribute only the base?


Thank you kindly,
