Hello.
You can install the original script in ${PREFIX}/libexec and a wrapper
script in ${PREFIX}/bin, that would copy it to the user's home
directory if not exists and run it from there.
For example, the wrapper script could be (considering it is listed in
SUB_FILES):
#!/bin/sh
test -f ~/.script.sh || cp %%PREFIX%%/libexec/script.sh ~/.script.sh && \
chmod u+w ~/.script.sh
exec ~/.script.sh "$@"
See games/cube (the wrapper script files/cube_client.in) for an
example, but it considers the program needs to run from its data
directory.
Best Regards,
Ale
