Type './configure --help' for configuration options. The normal settings for a
GNU package should work. If not, please make a bug report.
On a common GNU/Linux distribution the following should
be sufficient for most users:
./configure --prefix=/usr
make
make install DESTDIR="somewhere you want the files for now"
# Now let the package manager put the files in place...
Or for an unstaged install:
./configure --prefix=/usr
make
sudo make install
By default any applicable pre-install, post-install, pre-uninstall, and
post-install commands is run. This suppress these, run 'make' with 'N=true'
or 'N=:'. IF you want to know which these commands are, you can use the
methods specificed in the GNU Coding Standards. Another method is found in
mk/README. However, for this packages, these will be:
infodir="usr/local/share/info" ## Assuming default prefix.
post_install () {
install-info -- "${infodir}/learn-your-telephone-number.info" "${infodir}/dir"
}
pre_uninstall () {
install-info --delete -- "${infodir}/learn-your-telephone-number.info" "${infodir}/dir"
}
