Hi all,
I am planning to distribute some of the makefiles I wrote on various
platforms, including FreeBSD. I need the help of some insightful soul to
take a few decisions:
--- Where to install? I think /usr/local/share/mk is fine;
--- How to install? Users should put a
`.MAKEFLAGS: -I/usr/local/share/mk'
statement in their /etc/make.conf, are ports scripts allowed to do this
automagically? If yes what's the best way to do this? (an ed script?)
--- Being system or not? BSD Make has two search pathes, the system one
(whith style inclusion) and the other one (with style incusion). I
think I shall consider my files non system, preserving the pathes for
BSD. But ther may be some pros and cons I am not aware.
I think you are confusing make with the C language with respect to search
paths. I believe make only uses search paths other than the current directory
when specificly requested for example with VPATH.

I spoke too quickly, please cancel or ignore these remarks.
Sorry,

Note: I did submit this questions on `ports' about ten days ago, but I
did not receive any answer for this. People subscribed to `ports' will
see this message for the second time, I apologize for the annoyance.
Any comments welcome,
