Header files are specified by the ‘HEADERS’ family of variables.
Generally header files are not installed, so the noinst_HEADERS
variable will be the most used.
All header files must be listed somewhere; missing ones will not appear in the distribution. Often it is most convenient to list uninstalled headers with the rest of the sources for a program. See Building a program.
Headers can be installed in includedir, oldincludedir, or
pkgincludedir.
