confINSTALL
Program to install programs and files Build macro
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 on page 72, 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 on page 93). Nor does it define how to install
symbolic links (see confLN, confLN on
page 83).
