- Description
-
This program installs programs from the directory in which
they were compiled into system directories. It is similar
to /etc/install, but conforms to the syntax of the BSD version
of /etc/install, and calls the System V version to do its work.
- Productivity
- Makes it easier to compile and run programs that come from
a BSD heritage since the install lines in the Makefiles do
not need to be changed
- Safety
- Examined code
- Work Planned
- None
- Verification
- Read the BSD man page for install(8), then try installing
something.
Note that all this source is configured to be installed under
/usr/skunk.
To build it for a different location, compile with
make CTRBDESTDIR=directory.
