-# No modifications of this Makefile should be necessary.

-# This file contains the build instructions for installing OMF files.  It is
-# generally called from the makefiles for particular formats of documentation.
-#
-# Note that you must configure your package with --localstatedir=/var
-# so that the scrollkeeper-update command below will update the database
-# in the standard scrollkeeper directory.
-#
-# If it is impossible to configure with --localstatedir=/var, then
-# modify the definition of scrollkeeper_localstate_dir so that
-# it points to the correct location. Note that you must still use 
-# $(localstatedir) in this or when people build RPMs it will update
-# the real database on their system instead of the one under RPM_BUILD_ROOT.
-#
-# Note: This make file is not incorporated into xmldocs.make because, in
-#       general, there will be other documents install besides XML documents
-#       and the makefiles for these formats should also include this file.
-#
-# About this file:
-#	This file was derived from scrollkeeper_example2, a package
-#	illustrating how to install documentation and OMF files for use with

-# No modifications of this Makefile should be necessary.
-#
-# To use this template:
-#     1) Define: figdir, docname, lang, omffile, and entities in
-#        your Makefile.am file for each document directory,
-#        although figdir, omffile, and entities may be empty
-#     2) Make sure the Makefile in (1) also includes 
-#	 "include $(top_srcdir)/xmldocs.make" and
-#	 "dist-hook: app-dist-hook".
-#     3) Optionally define 'entities' to hold xml entities which
-#        you would also like installed
-#     4) Figures must go under $(figdir)/ and be in PNG format
-#     5) You should only have one document per directory 
-#     6) Note that the figure directory, $(figdir)/, should not have its
-#        own Makefile since this Makefile installs those figures.
-#
-# example Makefile.am:
-#   figdir = figures
-#   docname = scrollkeeper-manual
-#   lang = C
-#   omffile=scrollkeeper-manual-C.omf
-#   entities = fdl.xml
-#   include $(top_srcdir)/xmldocs.make
-#   dist-hook: app-dist-hook
