One excuse and one reason: * I'm not confident that DESTDIR will work correctly for DJGPP. You can just concatenate two DOS paths, e.g.: concatenating c:/foo and c:/djgpp/bin doesn't make sense. DJGPP does support using /dev/<letter> instead of <letter>:, so this can be avoided. Testing with automake 1.7.[23] recently indicates that DESTDIR should work OK. So perhaps I should have more confidence in DESTDIR. * As mentioned already, some projects use autoconf but not automake. Several projects I've packaged for DJGPP only use autoconf. > IE: > > > ./configure --prefix=/usr > > make > > make DESTDIR=/tmp install > > cd /tmp > > tar cfz binary-tarball.tgz usr Bye, Rich =] -- Richard Dawe [ http://www.phekda.freeserve.co.uk/richdawe/ ]
