Using gnu automake how do I display a custom message to the user during the make install stage?
I have been reading the automake manual and various other tutorials but have not yet found an answer, it may just be hidden somewhere in the manual and I failed to find it. Please point it out if you where it's explained.
I am converting some source to use automake and near the end stage of make install I would like to display a message to tell the user they should run a particular script to set up some extra things that shouldn't be part of a automake, or can not (easily) be done in an install-data-hook or something.
Additionally is there actually a clean way to run a custom script using automake (outside of install hooks and such)? I can imagine it's big nono so I am not seriously considering it, but I am curious.
