This was introduced when the scripts Makefile.am was tweaked to insert the install prefix into various scripts. IMHO, inserting gnu make-specific extensions into Makefile.am is not OK. There are some systems where "make" is not GNU make, and until this change it was possible to build Xastir without GNU make. (Mine is one of those systems). -- Tom Russo KM5VY SAR502 DM64ux http://www.swcp.com/~russo/ Tijeras, NM QRPL#1592 K2#398 SOC#236 http://kevan.org/brain.cgi?DDTNM In some cultures what I do would be considered normal. -- Ineffective daily affirmation _______________________________________________ Xastir mailing list [email protected] http://lists.xastir.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xastir
