Re: [BUG]: DESTDIR support not working correctly in xemacs 21.5.27

Malcolm Purvis writes: Perhaps an "--fhs-directories" configure option to improve conformance would be a good idea, or maybe "--installation-style=linux-fhs". I don't think we need or want FHS-conformance by default. XEmacs is intended to be portable to Linux, of course, but this is the first time I've heard of any difficulty in generating an FHS-conformant installation with appropriate settings of directory options. The last time FHS conformance came up, it was argued that much of the nonconformance in the default configuration was deliberate. In particular, the way that FHS spreads stuff across the whole system conflicts with the preference of Mac OS X, Windows, and many /opt users for an application hierarchy that is not unnecessarily wide and deep and contains only that application's components. I suspect that Mike Sperber will have rather strong opinions on proposed changes, so please make an effort to get his review of any patch that changes default behavior. I bet you'll find this is related to autoconf changes, eh? _______________________________________________ XEmacs-Beta mailing list XEmacs-Beta(a)xemacs.org http://calypso.tux.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xemacs-beta
