Description Alejandro T. 2012-09-25 09:57:25 UTC 
In the autotools backend, while adding a new objective to a project a name can be specified for it, but when the objective is a "Miscelaneous Data" objective, the backend ignores the name given to the objective and writes the name data_DATA instead of given_name_DATA, thus forcing the user to write the name for this objective manually in the corresponding Makefile.am file.
As the aim of the backend is to avoid the user dealing with autotools directly, this can be understood as an undesired behaviour.

The name, given here, is the name of the installation directory for a DATA target. It is not really a name like for other targets, that's why I haven't take it into account.

Do you think it's better to use it as the installation directory?


It should be possible to change the installation directory later in the property of the data target. It seems that it doesn't work at the moment though.

Do you think it's better change the installation directory of the data target using the name property?

I have fixed this in master, it will be available in the next release. Thanks for your bug report.
