Hello Simon,
I think I can become a autoconfig convert! It really
does look very powerful, but I need to learn a bit more, can
you help me.
First off, from you email I understand that if I want
to change a makefile, I edit
Makefile.in
and NOT Makefile (because configure will generate
a new one of these?)
Secondly, the present Makefiles create the libBlast.so,
nsed, blast, etc. .. in the source directories, and do not
move them to the run directory. To move them one needs to
do a
make install (I think)
On campus this will move libBlast.so into
/usr/local/lib
and nsed, s, etc.. into
/usr/local/bin
at Bates this fails becasue users do not have write permission
there. But if, when I configure I type
configure --prefix=/home/blast/tps/cvs/run
then libBlast.so ends up in
/home/blast/tps/cvs/run/lib
and nsed in
/home/blast/tps/cvs/run/bin
Whereas this might really be a very good solution, it is not
what people expect - they are looking for someing in the run
directory.
question: can I edit the config.something? file
to change this?
Thanks for all you help.
Tim Smith
