Automake requires that the following "standard" files exist in the source directory of my project:
- INSTALL
- NEWS
- README
- COPYING
- AUTHORS
- ChangeLog
Obviously, none of these files are necessary for a program to build, but Automake refuses to run without them. I know about the --add-missing flag that will cause boilerplate files to be generated, but I would rather not have the files at all.
Is there a way to force Automake to run and ignore the missing files without generating them?
