compiling scripts to bytecode with Automake?

[anonymous532]

Hello, I have a C project which uses Autoconf and uses Lua for scripting.

I want Automake to be able to compile the Lua scripts to bytecode with "luac".

It is possible to compile a Lua script to bytecode like this:
luac -o myscript.luac myscript.lua

How do I instruct Automake to use luac to compile lua scripts to bytecode? and 
then later install them together with the C executable when invoking "make 
install"?

Or should I make a bash script instead to compile them?

Thanks
