make install

Post by sander79 »

When running 'make install' a map doc is created under the root directory.

for example:
/usr/bin/install -c -m 644 'AUTHORS' '/doc//AUTHORS'

Why is that ?
Why not a doc directory in the current map ?

Well it most certainly should not be in the current directory (it wouldn't be an install then, now would it). However /doc/ is indeed wrong, I think it should be in /usr/doc or somewhere like that.

I think it's an automake problem, since we only use dist_doc_DATA and nothing custom... Look at /Makefile.am
