OK, I've made "equivalent" changes to the Makefile. The install program

Thanks, it looks good. I do have a question, though: Is there any reason
to install the manpages into $(INSTDIR)/man instead of
$(INSTDIR)/share/man? As of the FHS 2.3, /usr/man is deprecated in favor
of /usr/share/man:
http://www.pathname.com/fhs/pub/fhs-2.3.html#USRSHAREMANMANUALPAGES
Since most distributions will end up installing a packaged version of
focal into /usr rather than /usr/local, this means they will have to
make a little change when building to be FHS-compliant.
Of course, the default $(INSTDIR) does point to /usr/local. And the FHS
2.3 does say that /usr/local/man and /usr/local/share/man must be
synonymous--there must be a symlink between them, probably. So I think
there would be no harm in just installing into /usr/local/share/man by
default:
http://www.pathname.com/fhs/pub/fhs-2.3.html#USRLOCALSHARE1
No problems with the share/man. I changed the Makefile to
$(INSTDIR)/share/man...
Some of my systems use /usr/man and /usr/local/man. So, that's why I'd
set it to these values.
Anyway, it's changed.
Also, just a little reminder that you might want to update the link on
your homepage to point to the latest tarball (http://www.cozx.com/~dpitts).
I was waiting to change things until we were totally happy....
New tarball in the same place. When you're good with it, I'll change the
link.
Thanks,
Daniel
