My suggested fix would be: install: @echo "You cannot install these examples directly." I think they haven't ever been intended to be auto-installable, they are rather there as a reference for curious people. The fact that the `install' targets were still around at all is simply that nobody bothered to disable the default install targets from the included .mk files. What do other people think about this? -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
