Well, it's not that important either way. However, this seems to be the only actual reason you have for opposing this. I can buy this one but not the rest of your arguments. However, you may decide however you wish. >> Index: Makefile >> =================================================================== >> RCS file: /usr/cvs/src/gnu/usr.bin/cc/cc/Makefile,v >> retrieving revision 1.24 >> diff -u -r1.24 Makefile >> --- Makefile 27 Mar 2001 14:58:37 -0000 1.24 >> +++ Makefile 26 Oct 2001 05:46:19 -0000 >> @@ -9,7 +9,10 @@ >> SRCS= gcc.c gccspec.c >> NOSHARED?=yes >> >> -LINKS= ${BINDIR}/cc ${BINDIR}/gcc >> +LINKS= ${BINDIR}/cc >> +.ifdef(GCC_NAMES) >> +LINKS+= ${BINDIR}/gcc >> +.endif > > uh... > +.if !defined(NO_GCC_LINK) > if anything.

As already stated, some people find this useful.

Since this would be an _optional_ toggle that defaults to having the gcc names by default, there will be no flood of email on freebsd-questions. It's just like how we have a NO_AWK knob. You use it if you know what you are doing, but it hasn't resulted in lots of "gee, where is awk?" mails to freebsd-questions. > -- > -- David (obrien@FreeBSD.org) -- John Baldwin -- http://www.FreeBSD.org/~jhb/ PGP Key: http://www.baldwin.cx/~john/pgpkey.asc "Power Users Use the Power to Serve!" - http://www.FreeBSD.org/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-arch" in the body of the message
