- Howdy:
-
- I found two installation bugs while trying to install the regex-0.10
- info pages. From the makefile:
-
- ======================================================================
- install: regex.info
- -mkdir $(prefix) $(infodir)
- for i in *.info; do $(INSTALL_DATA) $$i $(infodir)/$$i; done
-
- regex.info: regex.texinfo
- $(MAKEINFO) $<
-
- regex.texinfo: xregex.texinfo regex.h
- rm -f $@
- gawk -f include.awk -vsource=regex.h <$< | expand >$@
- add-version $(version) regex.texinfo
- add-date regex.texinfo
- chmod a-w $@
- ======================================================================
-
- Unfortunately:
-
- 1. The programs (scripts?) add-version and add-date were not
- included with the distribution (are they distributed with
- something else?). They are probably supposed to replace
- the strings "REPLACE-WITH-VERSION" and "REPLACE-WITH-DAY-MONTH-YEAR"
- with the appropriate values.
- 2. The info files "regex.info-{1,2}" do not get installed. The
- for loop should be "for i in *.info*" instead of "for i in
- *.info".
