>Description:
/usr/src/usr/bin/less/Makefile has an absolute path where a variable should be writen. Since the $LINKS line is writen with a absolute-path instead of the normal $BINDIR variable, it causes problems when $BINDIR is on another filesystem. This has caused me problems when
>How-To-Repeat:
Makesure /usr is on another file system from /root. Change into '/usr/src/usr.bin/less', and run the following make command: "make BINDIR=/root/build_area/usr.bin/ install all clean". That will but 'less' in the '/root/build_area/usr.bin/' directory, and next attempt to make a hardlink that targets /usr/bin/more. Since /root, and /usr live on different filesystems, that is imposible. For example: a make fiel might have:
PROG=foo
LINKS= $BINDIR/foo $BINDIR/bar
The 'less' Makefile has:
LINKS= $BINDIR/less /usr/bin/more
That is inconsitent with all the other Makefiles in the /usr/src/usr/bin src area that have the $LINK variable in their Makefile.
>Fix:
in the 'less' Makefile, do this:
LINKS= ${BINDIR}/less ${BINDIR}/more
