Summary: Missing INSTALL file in GNU Make 4.3 archive Project: make Submitted by: None Submitted on: Tue 21 Jul 2020 06:17:59 AM UTC Severity: 3 - Normal Item Group: Documentation Status: None Privacy: Public Assigned to: None Open/Closed: Open Discussion Lock: Any Component Version: 4.3 Operating System: Any Fixed Release: None Triage Status: None _______________________________________________________ Details: Hi all, Thanks for the great work with GNU Make! I wanted to point out a small problem with GNU Make 4.3's documentation. When building from source using http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/make/make-4.3.tar.gz , I wanted to do things right and read the README to get installation instructions. The README does not contain these but says: For source distribution building and installation instructions, see the file INSTALL. However, I can't find a file called INSTALL in the archive. I fell back to doing ./configure, make, make install as usual and that worked fine. But I think it would be good to include the INSTALL file! Apologies if I am being dense and just didn't find this file. Best, Martin _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?58794> _______________________________________________ Message sent via Savannah https://savannah.gnu.org/
