Or you can configure with the --suffix=<str> argument and go ahead and install as normal. For example: ./configure --suffix=-test make make install The result will be the commands iverilog-test, vvp-test, et al. installed along side any other iverilog install. -- Steve Williams "The woods are lovely, dark and deep. steve at icarus.com But I have promises to keep, http://www.icarus.com and lines to code before I sleep, http://www.picturel.com And lines to code before I sleep." _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list [email protected] http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
