First, configure is, and (I think) consensus is that it should remain optional. This means that Makefile "guess" section should have good defaults for your operating system. Second, the default autoconf macro AC_PROG_INSTALL *requires* that there is BSD-compatible `install' program (as 'install-sh' or 'install.sh') in the sources. Adding such script is (I think) not a problem; finding minimal portable[*1*] script is. So if you know one... Footnotes: ---------- [*1*] By "portable" I mean here 'git portable', i.e. requiring only those shell constructs/features that git require, not necessary insanelt portable the way ./configure script is. -- Jakub Narebski Poland ShadeHawk on #git - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
