Hi Nicolas,
I wonder if I might cheekily suggest some small changes to Neko's
Makefile so that make install behaves a bit more as Unix people
expect? The two issues I see are:
* Default installation to /usr, which is bad because the consensus is
that manual builds should go in /usr/local in order to avoid conflicts
with system package management. /usr/local is the default in almost
every other project for this reason.
* Development headers aren't installed by make install. This is bad
because it means that the headers have to either be installed
manually, or separate copies kept up to date within each Neko project.
Patch enclosed, although it's just as trivial as all my others ;)
Thanks,
Dan.
