In adding group/other read permissions I stumbled into it: Because there is no clear way of saying "autogen.1 does not depend upon the executable, but you have to create the executable in order to re-create autogen.1", there is a phony dependency of autogen.1 on autogen (the executable). I am open to suggestions on a reasonable fix, but I don't think "make" has the appropriate expressiveness. Meanwhile, two solutions: 1. configure && make && make && sudo make install 2. configure && make && make install DESTDIR=$HOME/stage cd $HOME/stage sudo cp -fr $f /. the latter is "more correct", but more bother, too. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Autogen-users mailing list Autogen-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/autogen-users
