Don't feel bad, I don't think anyone really understands this ;-) In general, I think the theory is that Targetdirs should create all of the directories and that the various Makefiles should not have to. Among other things, this centralized the knowledge of the permissions associated with various directories -- though since we stopped requiring root builds, the permissions of the directories no longer really matter. In practice, for more obscure directories, the Makefiles themselves often attempt to create them if they don't exist. -- meem _______________________________________________ opensolaris-code mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/opensolaris-code
