Subject: relative srcdir and INSTALL
Reply-To: andreas@mpa-garching.mpg.de (Andreas Schott)
Hi Karl,
if I use a relative path for srcdir in the configure,
the INSTALL-programm is not found from the sub-Makefiles.
(I know that I can specify a srcdir-option).
Example:
../common/configure
defines
INSTALL=../common/install-sh
but this is not correct in the first level sub-Makefiles,
there it should be
INSTALL=../../common/install-sh
So the better way would be to define with an absolute path,
at least for the install-program. May be this is a problem
with autoconf, because the acspecific.m4 uses the srcdir
when searching for a last resort of install, but this may be
depending on the version of autoconf?
Andreas.
P.S. If make is a link to gmake AC_PROG_MAKE_SET gives a
no, if I do not also define MAKE=gmake, because it is only
tested, whether make sets MAKE to be be make. But this may
be the right way, I'm no quit sure. (The link is a convenient
way to get the gnu-make, without the need of saying gmake.)
