Removing a file is tough? I don't get it. Was the coin so that computer could flip to decide? :-) % % I simply wanted to built without the mutt_dotlock included. % And because I wasn't abled to make it work, it added a line to % my autobuilder just using sed to overwrite a #define directive % in config.h. Done. That'll work, too. My understanding, though, is that if you don't build mutt_dotlock then mutt itself will try to do the dotlocking, which means that the mutt you build won't find the system mutt_dotlock 'cuz it will never look for it. Won't your dotlocking still fail? % % > % > I think, however, that it might be well worth adding some magic in the % > ... % > % Yes, I want exactly that. % % > Now we need someone to write it... % % It doesn't really matter, I think. The dotlock program is the % last which is to be installed. if chgrp fails, who cares since % (at that point) everything else is sucessfully where it should Well, yes, all else is well, but 1) you get an error from the make (can't be helped unless you change what's to be done) and 2) you have this useless mutt_dotlock lying around that can get in your way later, as Vincent has brought up. % be. Just remove the binary. That's my usual method. % % Cheers, Rocco.
