Oh, this is about the stuff in src/apps? Yeah, why not link those all into one executable that dispatches based on its name? It's a common pattern; that's what Busybox does (for an entire Linux userland), Clang (clang++, clang-cl, clang-cpp are symlinks to clang), TeX Live (lots of executables are symlinks to pdftex), xz (lzcat, lzma, unlzma, unxz, xzcat are all symlinks to xz), etc. Then you'd just have one link without needing a special configuration or target. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ Libmesh-devel mailing list Libmesh-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/libmesh-devel
