Right. This part of the document concerns not so much about what to do, but rather how and/or when to do it. Here's the updated version: ++ Implementation details If a piece of software is compiled with the /opt/csw prefix, public shared libraries are usually already at the right place. If there are any private libraries in /opt/csw/lib, they can be moved to a subdirectory after the "make install" step. Software compiled with a nonstandard prefix may need post-install modifications. If there are public shared library files in /opt/csw/foo/lib, they can be moved to /opt/csw/lib after the "make install" step. An alternate approach is to pass @@--prefix=/opt/csw@@ and @@--libdir=/opt/csw/lib@@ to the configure script. _______________________________________________ maintainers mailing list [email protected] https://lists.opencsw.org/mailman/listinfo/maintainers .:: This mailing list's archive is public. ::.
