Some configury that divined or selected the conventions of a particular system might be clearer than stuff about argv0. I'm not sure how many w32 users for instance would be smart enough to associate that with moving their tree :). > (I really like the gnu standards, but when these where written, was > build time not virtually the same as install time?) > > Btw, what bit are you referring to? Only the little spot in "Directory Variables" about $prefix where it's supposed to influence compiling with "make all", but then doesn't change the contents under "make install". $DESTDIR probably/hopefully renders that slightly obsolete. _______________________________________________ Guile-devel mailing list Guile-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/guile-devel
