From 556677144b55aad8457851a9019e86c3676bd422 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jakub Narebski Date: Mon, 3 Jul 2006 01:56:48 +0200 Subject: autoconf: Use autoconf to write installation directories to config.mak.autogen This is beginning of patch series introducing installation configuration using autoconf (and no other autotools) to git. The idea is to generate config.mak.autogen using ./configure (generated from configure.ac by running autoconf) from config.mak.in, so one can use autoconf as an _alternative_ to ordinary Makefile, and creating one's own config.mak. Local settings in config.mak override generated settings in config.mak.autogen This patch includes minimal configure.ac and config.mak.in, so one can set installation directories using autoconf generated ./configure script e.g. ./configure --prefix=/usr Signed-off-by: Jakub Narebski Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano --- INSTALL | 9 +++++++++ 1 file changed, 9 insertions(+) (limited to 'INSTALL') diff --git a/INSTALL b/INSTALL index f8337e2a4d..28245b3e68 100644 --- a/INSTALL +++ b/INSTALL @@ -13,6 +13,15 @@ that uses $prefix, the built results have some paths encoded, which are derived from $prefix, so "make all; make prefix=/usr install" would not work. +Alternatively you can use autoconf generated ./configure script to +set up install paths (via config.mak.autogen), so you can write instead + + $ autoconf ;# as yourself if ./configure doesn't exist yet + $ ./configure --prefix=/usr ;# as yourself + $ make all doc ;# as yourself + # make install install-doc ;# as root + + Issues of note: - git normally installs a helper script wrapper called "git", which -- cgit v1.2.3 From addf88e455f85bc6cfe0284b70aaad10b6d3486e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Pavel Roskin Date: Sun, 9 Jul 2006 03:44:30 -0400 Subject: Assorted typo fixes Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano --- INSTALL | 4 ++-- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) (limited to 'INSTALL') diff --git a/INSTALL b/INSTALL index f8337e2a4d..7da2c89829 100644 --- a/INSTALL +++ b/INSTALL @@ -44,7 +44,7 @@ Issues of note: - "libcurl" and "curl" executable. git-http-fetch and git-fetch use them.
