:) I noticed that it didn't install the docs. I almost said something
:) but I realized as well that I can just as easily package up the docs
:) on my own. That and I didn't know what the standard operating
:) procedure (SOP) is on Unix with these kinds of docs.
:)
:) I think it would be *nice* to have the docs installed as well. I

:) unless someone objects.

:) If you want to have it installed with an enabled switch that's fine
:) too. My desired directory to put it in would be:
:) ${PREFIX}/doc/${PACKAGENAME}
:) which is different from what Jörg specified. Perhaps this would be
:) specified with a switch as well? I'll leave it to the implementor.

After I sent that email, I got to looking at it and just did it. It
makes the rpm install easier too.

I even added the --enable-versioned-doc configure switch ala avr-libc.

Eric, to get the behaviour you want, do this:

  ../configure --prefix=<foo> --datadir=<foo> --enable-versioned-doc=no

Then you will get the docs installed in :

  <foo>/doc/avrdude

BTW: ${datadir} defaults to "${prefix}/share".
