Name
confINSTALL
Synopsis
The confINSTALL macro defines the program that
will be used by make(1) to install
sendmail. As distributed, the
devtools/OS file for your
machine’s architecture predefines this value for
you. You should not need to redefine it unless you have customized
your system in a way that makes that prior definition inappropriate:
define(`confINSTALL', `${BUILDBIN}/install.sh')Here, we create a definition that tells make(1)
to use devtools/bin/install.sh to install
sendmail. The expression ${BUILDBIN} is a
Makefile macro that defaults to the
devtools/bin directory in the source
distribution (see confBUILDBIN, confBUILDBIN, for a way to override that default).
Note that this macro also defines how manuals will be installed. It
does not, however, control whether to install the manual pages (see
the confNO_MAN_INSTALL macro, confNO_MAN_INSTALL). Nor does it define how to install symbolic
links (see confLN, confLN).
