Thanks Dianne, The rem2pdf Makefile is ignoring PREFIX set from configure and trying to install to the default destination. The other executables and man pages (remind, rem2ps, tkremind, rem2html) install to the correct destination.
$ ./configure --prefix=$HOME/.local $ make $ make install ... Installing rem2pdf make[2]: Entering directory '/home/User/build/remind/remind-03.04.00/rem2pdf' Manifying 1 pod document Manifying 2 pod documents !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ERROR: Can't create '/usr/local/bin' Do not have write permissions on '/usr/local/bin' !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I see in the 'rem2pdf/Makefile' generated by MakeMaker, the following variables have not picked up the --prefix from configure. DESTDIR = PREFIX = $(SITEPREFIX) PERLPREFIX = /usr SITEPREFIX = /usr/local Thanks, Mark At 17:21 on 10 Feb 2022, Dianne Skoll via Remind-fans wrote:
[[PGP Signed Part:Undecided]] Hi, everyone, Remind 03.04.00 is available at https://dianne.skoll.ca/projects/remind/ Tar: https://dianne.skoll.ca/projects/remind/download/remind-03.04.00.tar.gz GPG: https://dianne.skoll.ca/projects/remind/download/remind-03.04.00.tar.gz.sig Git: https://git.skoll.ca/Skollsoft-Public/Remind Release notes follow. Regards, Dianne. CHANGES TO REMIND * VERSION 3.4 Patch 0 - 2022-02-10 - MAJOR CHANGE: Remind and its helpers (except for rem2ps) fully support UTF-8. If your system locale is a UTF-8 locale and your terminal can handle UTF-8 encoding, you can enjoy full Unicode support in Remind. - NEW FEATURE: Added a rem2pdf Remind-to-PDF converter. It can handle the full UTF-8 character set and features a new PANGO special reminder type that lets you format the text in the PDF calendar (by changing the font size, color, underlining, etc.) rem2pdf requires the Pango and Cairo Perl modules. On Debian or Debian-derived systems, these may be installed with: apt install libpango-perl libcairo-perl Unlike rem2ps, the default font in rem2pdf is "Sans" rather than "Helvetica", as Sans seems to be typeset better by the Pango library. - NEW FEATURE: remind: New system variables $Sunday through $Saturday and $January through $December let you set weekday and month names to whatever you like, permitting you to produce calendars in your local language, even if it's not one of the languages Remind supports by default. - NEW FEATURE: tkremind: If rem2pdf installed, TkRemind offers you the choice of PDF or PostScript output in the Print dialog. - CHANGE: remind: Increase the number of allowed "full OMITs" from 500 to 1000. - CHANGE: Remove the annoying code that slowed compilation and running on Windows and Mac OS X. I believe the point has been made and free OSes have enough of a critical mass that the annoyances are counter-productive. - CLEANUP: remind: C source code: Replace the LAT_DEG, LAT_MIN, LAT_SEC and LON_DEG, LON_MIN, LON_SEC macros with DEFAULT_LATITUDE and DEFAULT_LONGITUDE. - CLEANUP: remind: C source code: Remove various unused or obsolete macros. - BUG FIXES: Minor fixups to groff source and Makefiles courtesy of Jochen Sprickerhof. - BUG FIX: Properly support formatting of double-wide characters in the terminal mode "remind -c" calendar. - BUG FIX: rem2html: Document how to highlight today with a red border - BUG FIX: rem2html: Generate and install a man page for rem2html - BUG FIX: remind: Get rid of LAT_DEG/LAT_MIN/LAT_SEC and LON_DEG/LON_MIN/LON_SEC macros in favour of DEFAULT_LATITUDE and DEFAULT_LONGITUDE. - IMPROVEMENT: All localized languages now use UTF-8 exclusively. Support for old character encodings like ISO-8859-1 and ISO-8859-2 has been dropped since modern UNIXes have pretty much standardized on UTF-8. - CHANGE: remind: Non-English versions of remind *no longer* accept non-English month- and weekday-names in trigger specifications. This was a misfeature. NOTE INCOMPATIBILITY. * VERSION 3.3 Patch 12 - 2022-01-24 [[End of PGP Signed Part]] _______________________________________________ Remind-fans mailing list [email protected] https://dianne.skoll.ca/mailman/listinfo/remind-fans Remind is at https://dianne.skoll.ca/projects/remind/
