From: Andy Dougherty Date: Thu, 29 May 1997 02:43:30 +0000 (+1200) Subject: INSTALL-1.18 X-Git-Url: http://git.shadowcat.co.uk/gitweb/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=0dcb58f4e9dab7110393871db954eb94cbf90dd0;p=p5sagit%2Fp5-mst-13.2.git INSTALL-1.18 This patch fixes two problems in the INSTALL file in 5.004. This fix is appropriate for 5.004_01. First, the INSTALL file erroneously claims you can set all the install* variables from the Configure command line. You can't. That's awaiting my -Dinstallprefix patch, which is so far down on the ToDo list that it may never get done. Second, I misspelled 'override'. I had two 'v's and one 'r'. :-) p5p-msgid: Pine.SOL.3.95q.970529142739.662D-100000@fractal.lafayette.edu --- diff --git a/INSTALL b/INSTALL index cdb18d2..df4822b 100644 --- a/INSTALL +++ b/INSTALL @@ -381,13 +381,11 @@ use that management software to move perl to its final destination.
