Okay, I used the -R switch & pulled www into my home dir.
Then I read through the Makefile,v & saw it said:
don't build the non-english directories if the variable
ENGLISH_ONLY=YES is set
I tried that. From within /home/mydir/www I did a
make -D ENGLISH_ONLY=YES install | tee -a output.txt
and it failed so fast, nothing was even captured to
the output file. I scrolled back & found:
"/home/dennyboy/www/en/../share/mk/web.site.mk", line 135:
/home/dennyboy/www/en/../../doc/share/mk/doc.common.mk not found.
Define $WITHOUT_DOC and $WEB_ONLY for performing a partial build
without the doc/ module.
*** Error code 1
So, it's not a major deal if I install all the translations
just to be able to have the english part. Plenty of space
on /home. Just seems illogical if there's a work-around,
which I'm sure, if I understood more about make, I could
probably do. If no one wants to fool with this anymore,
I understand. :) Earlier I tried hacking around on the
makefiles on $DESTDIR to no avail. Just wanted folks to
know I wasn't one of those who say "I can't fix it. Fix
it for me"! :) I've tried for 3 days now, whenever I've
had time.
Okay, started this post earlier. Since then, I pulled www
again into my home dir, read-only mode. Went in as root & did:
make -D WITHOUT_DOC -D WEB_ONLY DESTDIR=/home/dennyboy install
Shame, because that pretty much defeats a lot of the purpose
of doing it, that is, without a lot of the docs. Be that as
it may, it finally got put in to one degree or another. Two
of you have been trying to help me & I included what I hope
are the latest posts from both of you. Thanks so much for
the help & patience. I haven't totally given up on this. If
anyone has any more ideas, I'll be happy to try them. Maybe
I should've just gone ahead & went through all it takes to
make a mirror. :-)
