doc/src/Makefile annoyance
Started by Tom Laneabout 23 years ago2 messages
Anyone know why the install target in doc/src/Makefile is coded like
this:
install:
$(MAKE) all
(mv -f *.$(ZIPSUFFIX) ..)
and not the more conventional
install: all
mv -f *.$(ZIPSUFFIX) ..
or perhaps safer,
install: all
mv -f $(TARGETS) ..
I just typed "make all", waited a good long while, typed "make install",
and was seriously annoyed to watch it "make clean" and start the docs
build *again*. This behavior is broken IMHO.

Legacy. Note also that "install" doesn't do here what it usually does.
Feel free to make adjustments.
