Package Building Problem

I am trying to build packages from source. I did a 'make install' on hyperbole (although the problem would be anywhere) and I get the error cp: illegal option -- a Usage: cp [-f] [-i] [-p] f1 f2 cp [-f] [-i] [-p] f1 ... fn d1 cp -r|R [-f] [-i] [-p] d1 ... dn-1 dn The make script does a 'cp -af' and, at least on Solaris 7, this is not a valid option. Am I only the one who has tried doing this on Solaris 7? What does the 'a' option do on other systems? How can I workaround this? -- Jake Colman Principia Partners LLC Phone: (201) 209-2467 Harborside Financial Center Fax: (201) 946-0320 902 Plaza Two E-mail: colman(a)ppllc.com Jersey City, NJ 07311 www.principiapartners.com
