installing info files

[Patrick Alken]

Hello,

  I have a .info file (not generated by texinfo) and would like it to be
installed under 'make install'. I tried adding it like this:

info_DATA = file.info

but this gives the following error:

doc/Makefile.am:7: error: 'infodir' is not a legitimate directory for 'DATA'

My current solution, which works is this:

------------------
EXTRA_DIST = file.info

install-data-local: file.info
    ${INSTALL} file.info ${infodir}
------------------

This works but probably isn't the proper solution. Can anyone tell me
how to correctly install a .info file which isn't generated from a
.texinfo source?

Thanks,
Patrick
