Hi Thomas, I once was of the same mindset, but I'd venture to guess that just as many people copy-and-paste as use scripts. Including some of the editors. Even if it is in a script, it works just as well. And BLFS does assume that you're entering the commands in an interactive shell, as far as I know. > If that is true, I assume the scripts etc. will setup the > environment proper before doing the configure. If you're writing scripts, you can substitute whatever you want. I used KDE_PREFIX in a sourced file, and probably still will. However, you have to consider blfs-support. Most of the people that ask support questions are not those that have the inclination to write scripts and figure out what's going on. They're the copy-and-pasters. Randy's fix helps guard the blfs community against some of these support questions. > It was just my two cents worth.
