which is fine with me.
This means we're going to have to find a new target name for just build
programs/executable. Candidates I've seen so far are:
"make all-programs install-programs"
"make programs-only install-programs"
"make exec install-exec" ("install-exec" comes from automake)
preferences, or better suggestions :-)
I'll need to make both these changes simultaneously as otherwise "make
kvm-update" on VMs no xmlto will break.
This is tricky, as we need a target that builds only "programs" but
cannot be called "programs". I guess "make programs-only". Ideally,
"make install" would figure out if we had ran "make programs" or
"make programs-only" but I guess that's not the easiest. So I'm ok
with "make install-programs".
Now, the follow-on question is, what should "make ; sudo make install" do?
Typical behaviour, whether we like it or not, is:
make
-> builds everything, alias for "make all"
sudo make install
-> installs everything built above
with libreswan, its the same but different:
make
-> prints a message telling to you run something else
We should keep that as long as we support KLIPS and we have "make
programs" and "make module".
sudo make install
-> since the above did nothing, build/install everything (except
modules) as root
can this target just fail if no "make programs" or "make programs-only"
was called?
Probably not exactly what was intended. But, as also shown on IRC, it is
assumed to work.
Really? People expect "make install" to work?
Is it time to change "make" to build everything by default?
Then we lose the screen to help them... I think I like that screen.
