Comment:
If you are going to deviate from the instructions in the book, you really
should be aware of the consequences prior to making any changes. If you
did not make changes, then something else has happened that has left
configure with an earlier timestamp than one of the auto* files. Did you
verify MD5s? There is currently nothing in the book (as written) that
requires this.
With that said, however, there will actually be some use cases in the
Gnome section that depend on the requested change (when changing for the
/opt/gnome installation). Actually, I could just diff configure and go,
but it'd be nice to show it in the book using the correct method.
Something to the effect of the following example for Xorg should be added
to the introduction sections for the respective distributions if being
built in the optional prefixes:
{{{
echo "$XORG_PREFIX/share/aclocal" >> \
/usr/share/aclocal/dirlist
}}}
At the risk of overstating the obvious...
For Gnome:
{{{
echo "$GNOME_PREFIX/share/aclocal" >> \
/usr/share/aclocal/dirlist
}}}
And for KDE:
{{{
echo "$KDE_PREFIX/share/aclocal" >> \
/usr/share/aclocal/dirlist
}}}
