Right now, the native install. The long-term goal will be to support -C everywhere, but right now the only short-term goal is for install-sh to support -C. One step at a time. Once coreutils install supports -C, I think AC_PROG_INSTALL should prefer -C, but that's a later patch. _______________________________________________ Autoconf mailing list Autoconf@xxxxxxx http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/autoconf
