Subject: How to "make install"?
Date: Thu, 02 Sep 1999 07:47:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <19990902144728.19952.qmail@www0n.netaddress.usa.net> (raw)

Hi,

I think it is obvious that the install utility program doesn't work for
binary executables because of .exe suffix. I saw some scripting solution
here so I tried it. I made shell script adding .exe to appropriate
parameters and calling the original install hidden somewhere out of
$PATH. Then I 'make install' just made groff package. Make passed but
oops! - all binary programs were installed to their locations without
the .exe suffix == unuseable. OK, I checked all files in /usr/local/bin
and added .exe to binary programs per script, but I don't like this as a
solution.

Has somebody something better? How do you "make install"?
