Hi, I just ran into a problem when compiling an addon on Mac OS X:
Compiling... Installing... cp: the -H, -L, and -P options may not be specified with the -r option. make: *** [install] Error 1 It seems cp -r (lowercase r) is not portable, see [1]. Mac cp man page says: Historic versions of the cp utility had a -r option. This implementation supports that option; how-ever, however, ever, its use is strongly discouraged, as it does not correctly copy special files, symbolic links, or fifo's. lowercase r is used on couple of places, mainly include/Make/Install.make. So my question is if anyone thinks there are some valid reasons for using lowercase r. Thanks, Anna [1] http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/18712/difference-between-cp-r-and-cp-r-copy-command
