Setting $CONF_ARGS in the environment doesn't work anymore: it is overridden (unless make is called with the -e switch, which is not normal practice) by the line
CONF_ARGS = $(CONF_ARGS1) $(CONF_ARGS2) $(CONF_ARGS3) $(CONF_ARGS4) $(CONF_ARGS5) at line 326 of src/Makefile. Setting $CONF_ARGS1 to $CONF_ARGS5 works, since lines 321-325 of the same Makefile are commented-out. So if e.g. you had export CONF_ARGS='--with-vim-name=vi' in the bash startup script in your shadow directory for building a Tiny Vim, that line must now be replaced by export CONF_ARGS2='--with-vim-name=vi' otherwise your Tiny Vim will be built with the executable name "vim", and "make installvimbin" will copy and strip it into /usr/local/bin/vim, which is not what you want. N.B. I don't edit the src/shadow-*/Makefile or the src/Makefile; instead, I create soft links Makefile -> ../Makefile in each shadow directory and set my configure arguments by means of environment variables. This way I always use the latest Makefile. But I have to keep watch for incompatible changes like the one above. Best regards, Tony. -- -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist.
