[erlang-questions] erlang automake and autogenerate erlang otp files

[db]

I will answer my own questions:

Builder generates these files and places them into priv folder.  priv
folder is created if it is not present.  You can also pass the path to
folder where you want to put .boot, .load, .rel, .script files if you
don't like the default priv folder.  .app file is automatically placed
into ebin folder by builder.  Builder is run from the root folder of
the application and it determines the version number from the root
folder.

Automake default install location is /usr/local.  You need to add --
prefix=_your_path.
