- As I reported in a previous posting, the "mkdir" dependancy in the Makefile file
- of the main directory of Emacs (18.59) distribution may fail to create
- the directories if more than one element are missing in the path names.
-
- So, I suggest to change the "mkdir" dependancy in the Makefile as follows (or
- something similar):
-
- mkdir: FRC
- for file in ${LIBDIR} ${BINDIR} ${MANDIR}
- do
- dir=`echo $file | sed -e 's/^\([^/]*\)/.*$/\1/'`
- for sub in `echo $file | tr '/' ' '`
- do
- dir=$dir/$sub
- -mkdir $dir
- done
- done
-
- NOTE:
- I'm not familiar with make rules to replace variable names. Please, check if
- the "$file, $dir, etc..." variables will be replaced properly by the shell
- instead of make itself.
