Hi all, I am planning to distribute some of the makefiles I wrote on various platforms, including FreeBSD. I need the help of some insightful soul to take a few decisions: --- Where to install? I think /usr/local/share/mk is fine; --- How to install? Users should put a `.MAKEFLAGS: -I/usr/local/share/mk' statement in their /etc/make.conf, are ports scripts allowed to do this automagically? If yes what's the best way to do this? (an ed script?) --- Being system or not? BSD Make has two search pathes, the system one (whith <> style inclusion) and the other one (with "" style incusion). I think I shall consider my files non system, preserving the <> pathes for BSD. But ther may be some pros and cons I am not aware. Any comments welcome, -- cheers, Michaël
