Summary: scripts/hal: need install rule in Makefile.am 
Category: None
Group: None
Resolution: None


Initial Comment:
the scripts/hal directory doesn't get copied into the 'make dist' tarball, so it needs a Makefile.am. At the moment (r877) you can build .debs fron SVN, but not from an autogenerated tarball.

Eventually, scripts/hal needs to be copied into a destination directory on 'make install' (when HAL is enabled).

Message:
this assertion is still true for 2.2.0.
as per the discussion with David Zeuthen (HAL lead), the fdi file is to be installed in $datadir/hal/fdi/information/20thirdparty

with $datadir=/usr/share (true on Debian, RedHat, SuSE)
The problem is that nut (generally) defines $datadir=/usr/share/nut (Debian, RedHat, ...)

The solution would be either:
- to autodetect this path (well simply test the above one) when configured --with-hal
- to bug HAL guys for adding a datadir variable (or fdidir or ...) in their pkgconfig file

Note that the same problem goes for NUT HAL addons, which should be installed in $libdir/hal. Currently, these are moved manually by the packagers.

The .debs build again.

Now we need a "make install" rule.
