Comment(by martinl): Replying to [comment:9 kyngchaos]: > In adding the install for g.html2man (r46240 in rel64, r46241 in dev6), I found an update (r45933) by martinl that did that, though it was broken (didn't make sure g.html2man subfolder existed). But also he had an old copy of the Makefile and I had to fix a reversion. I don't understand fully "he had an old copy", I modified fresh Makefile from SVN. > And instead of my changes to g.extension to change ARCH_* vars, martin hacked platform.make, grass.make and man.make on install to change the make vars. Well, I though I have fixed wrongly set variables, probably I was wrong. > Though it probably needs a few more vars updated to match what I did, which is the better method? Seems to me to change 1 file, g.extension, is better than to change 3. But maybe there are other uses for the makefiles outside g.extension? I think that makefiles should provide up-to-date variables. BTW, your commit introduced again 'macosx' directory. What is the reason for this directory on GNU/Linux or MS Windows? Thanks.
