This patch reworks the directory-related variables to allow
installation of binaries under `/usr/[s]bin`, instead of directly
under `/[s]bin`. It also allows installing the man pages under a
different prefix (e.g. `/usr/local`).
Example:
$ make install EXEC_PREFIX=/usr
will install binaries under `/usr/bin`, respectively `/usr/sbin`. A
full "local" installation under `/usr/local` is accomplished by:
$ make install EXEC_PREFIX=/usr/local PREFIX=/usr/local
This patch points once again that an autoconf/automake conversion
would make a lot of sense…
Closes#3. Additionally, it fixes a previous bug with installation of
the manual pages.
Short of moving to autotools, this is the best that can be done:
- move the version from hardcoded in the .c files, to a
dynamically-built `version.h` file so that we only declare the
version in one place
- build a better dist file (.tar.gz) by explicitly selecting which
files to copy, instead of unbounded recursion from the source
directory
- ensure that the files being copied to the archive have a sane
user/group and mode
- add a distcheck target that simply reuses the archive to build and
run the programs, and then regenerate the archive from itself
autotools would solve all this by default, but still feels too
heavyweight for just two .c files.
Additionall, drop the .lsm file. It seems mostly useless these days;
I'll be happy to reinstate it however if anyone cares.
Commit 0ca6864 changed CFLAGS to be taken from the environment, but
without using any default value. This patch restores the old CFLAGS
value as the default one.
