Hey,
I was wondering if someone could give me a basic overview of the following
part of a makefile:
PREFIX ?= /usr/local
BINDIR = $(DESTDIR)$(PREFIX)/bin
MANDIR = $(DESTDIR)$(PREFIX)/share/man/man1
DOCDIR = $(DESTDIR)$(PREFIX)/share/doc/googler
.PHONY: all install uninstall disable-self-upgrade
all:
install:
install -m755 -d $(BINDIR)
install -m755 -d $(MANDIR)
install -m755 -d $(DOCDIR)
gzip -c googler.1 > googler.1.gz
install -m755 googler $(BINDIR)
install -m644 googler.1.gz $(MANDIR)
install -m644 README.md $(DOCDIR)
rm -f googler.1.gz
uninstall:
rm -f $(BINDIR)/googler
rm -f $(MANDIR)/googler.1.gz
rm -rf $(DOCDIR)
I'm guessing all the capital letters are configuration environmental
variables. I'm not sure what "destdir" and "prefix" are, though, or
".phony".
Then, there are some "install m755" type lines, which I don't know what
precisely they do, perhaps grant file permissions to those directories.
Which part of the documentation discusses these commands?
Thanks very much,
Julius
