- I have a question about the "Makefile" on the main directory of the 18.59
- version of Emacs.
-
- Why don't you use the "-p" option of mkdir in the "mkdir" dependancy?
-
- mkdir: FRC
- -mkdir ${LIBDIR} ${BINDIR} ${MANDIR}
-
- You asssume that only the last part of the path names does not exist. This is
- probably the case with default values on most systems, but if we decide to
- create, say, a test version, with directory names having more than one
- component that don't exist, mkdir will not create the directory.
-
- Thanks.
