Unfortunatly, it turned out that "make programs; sudo make install" was more entrenched than I realized. > It seems really dumb to make "make programs" do something other than make > programs. > See above, that initial mistake was made long ago. My suggestion here is to remove "programs" from any and all documentation; but accept it as an undocumented alias for building all of userland including manuals. > Surely > make ; sudo make install > or > make all ; sudo make install > I personally think "all" should build modules as well; but that seems to get messy. The argument for not having "make" default to building everything including modules is that the user needs to select which modules to build; hence "make" prints a help message and lets the user decide. > would be the right way to do what people misuse > make programs ; sudo make install > to do. > The other complication is that we need some short cuts (aka targets) to: - build/install all but documentation - linux cross compiles apparently can't deal with documentation - build/install just binaries and scripts - to speed up test builds (this one would be less of an issue if the test-build process didn't rm -rf OBJDIR) Andrew
