There's been some changes to the FCPtools directory in the drive to make the tools compile and run on potentially any system that can run a bash shell.
I think the "standard" way to compile the tools should be based on ./configure, make, make install, since this is the unwritten standard way to compile GNU apps. To make the situation behave nicely, I'd like all the 'Makefile's under the FCPtools dir to be renamed to something like 'Makefile.manual'. This allows: * Compilation using the ./configure... method listed above. * Compilation using the simpler Makefile for those who cannot run a Bash shell (i.e. make -f Makefile.manual install). This also eases cvs operations; after running ./configure, the Makefile stores the results of that script. Any subsequent cvs commits think the Makefile has changed (it has) and wants to commit it. Basically, if Makefile is being generated at all, it should not exist in the repository under that name. ? (PS: developers should check the AUTHORS file and add their information; also there is a README file that should contain *all* the details as far as compilation is concerned). -- Jay Oliveri "In the land of the blind, GnuPG ID: 0x5AA5DD54 the one-eyed man is king." _______________________________________________ Devl mailing list Devl at freenetproject.org http://lists.freenetproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devl
