Hello, I am currently checking all GNU packages to help them provide better build systems, and I'd have a simple patch to add DESTDIR support to GNU prolog.
After the patch it will be possible to get a snapshot of the installation at make install time, using for example: make install DESTDIR=/tmp/staging-area This is useful to prepare binary packages and for source package managers to extract information easily from the installation, prior to moving the installation to its final placement. DESTDIR variable is referenced by the GNU coding standards: http://www.gnu.org/prep/standards/html_node/Command-Variables.html Other references are in the GNU make, and GNU automake manuals. The attached patch is a p0 unified diff, which in fact only changes src/Makefile.in . The patched version is gprolog-1.2.16 (the latest version as far as I know). Please tell me if a ChangeLog entry is needed, and what you think about this patch. Thanks, Claudio ___________________________________ Yahoo!
