`docdir' is undefined error message

[Oleg V. Zhylin]

Hi All,

  I'm using automake 1.9.6. Line in my yet simple Makefile.am 

dist_doc_DATA = README

  triggers error message 

Makefile.am:2: `dist_doc_DATA' is used but `docdir' is undefined

  '2.2.3 Standard Directory Variables' in Automake manual says that
docdir's default value is

docdir  ${datarootdir}/doc/${PACKAGE}

  Maybe I'm missing something but I've assumed that variable with
default value can't possibly be undefined. What is the proper way to
deal with this?
