I can't think of a single Unix-like OS (short of LFS) on which it is regular practice to build and install using autotools and the upstream Makefile. Debian, Arch, Gentoo, CRUX, Slackware, OpenSuSE, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD--in all cases, it's strongly recommended that the system's native software management tools be used to build a package that can be installed and tracked for easy updates, customization, and removal. -- ================================================================= :: Brandon Wandersee :: :: brandon.wandersee@gmail.com :: ================================================================== 'A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools.' - Douglas Adams ==================================================================
