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?
This is GNU cp syntax. You either have to install the GNU tools or
change the syntax. I don't think this behaviour is special to
hyperbole, but needs to be changed in you Local.rules. On my FreeBSD
machine I have "cp -pfR".
Mats you don't play dirty tricks on me in your own Makefile, do you?
