That does not work, you would need to do
sudo make install-info && sudo make install-info-debian
with the original Makefile - only change th
I'll know when the documentation gets an update. Thanks.On Sat, 9 Jul

I just ran make update && make all && sudo make install && sudo make
install-info-debian and updated org-mode to 7.6. I put two mods into the
org-mode default Make file. The prefix I changed to /usr and the change
suggested on install-info-debian target changing out $(infodir) with
ginstall-i

If a make is done on debian squeeze with default org-mode install-info
which is debian's version of install-info complains that it's not gnu
info and tells you to use ginstall-info when a make install-info-debian
or make install-info is tried and neither one of those switches for make
upgrades

Well, I've had a look on some server I have admin access to: what goes

True, but it's not reliable since it is quite common to customize the
login message. And the next thing of course is that you don't ha

One way to make the whole deployment really portable could also be to
pass from plain Makefile to the autoconf be

Indeed. I'll apply every patch that
- doesn't break current Makefile commands

Hi Jude,
I understand.
I think we can go with a FAQ: "How to compile and install Org under
Debian and Slackware?", then include your patch in the answer.
Can someone confirm Jude's patch solves install issues for Debian
and Slackware?
Thanks,

No I can't provide any patch that works with all distros. I don't have
all distros available to me; not all Linux distros are accessible for
screen reader users either. I use screen reading software just to use a
computer and I don't have all distros even under the category of distros
that ar
Hi Jude,
I infer this patch will break most non-debian/slackware configs.
Could you provide a patch that works for *every* distro, including
debian and slackware?
Thanks!
