Re: Contradicting license informations in make.texi
Date: Sun, 26 Mar 2006 13:14:49 +0200 From: Sven Joachim [EMAIL PROTECTED] 1) Version b) lists the ``GNU General Public License'' as an Invariant Section, but does not actually include it. It should mention the GFDL section (which _is_ included) instead. I'm guessing that when the manual was converted to GFDL, the stale reference to GPL was left behind by mistake. 2) Obviously, version a) and b) differ. This may be a mistake, and you may just bring them in sync. Otherwise, it is unclear how to interpret it. I don't think this is a mistake: the printed version mentions cover text because only that version actually has cover text. But IANAL. 3) GFDL version 1.1 is listed as license for the manual, but later included is the text for GFDL version 1.2. You probably want to upgrade to version 1.2 consistently. It says ``version 1.1 or later'', so there's no contradiction, at least not legally. ___ Bug-make mailing list Bug-make@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-make
Re: Problem with overriding def. SHELL-sh.exe on W2000
Date: Mon, 27 Mar 2006 23:05:41 +0200 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] I'm using gnumake 3.78 (also tried 3.8) buided with VC on W2000. I've a problem with overriding default SHELL value from sh.exe to cmd.exe. Yes, this is a known problem with Make on Windows. I believe it has been corrected in the current development code, which will be soon released as Make 3.81. You can try fetching the latest release candidate from this URL: ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/make/make-3.81rc2.tar.gz The file README.W32 includes instructions for building Make on Windows. If this problem doesn't go away with the new version of Make, please report that. ___ Bug-make mailing list Bug-make@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-make
Re: Contradicting license informations in make.texi
Hi guys; Thanks for your mention of, and interest in, the licensing issues with the manual; I didn't notice them before. I'm currently discussing the situation on the GNU developers' mailing list and I'm getting the official FSF line on these details and will change the wording in the manual accordingly.
