When using slashpackage, two additional Makefile targets are available after "make install": - "make -L update" changes the default version of the software to the freshly installed one. (This is useful when you have several installed versions of the same software, which slashpackage supports.) - - "make -L global-links" adds links from /command and /library.so to the -default version of the binaries and shared libraries. + - "make -L global-links" adds links from DIR/command and DIR/library.so +to the default version of the binaries and shared libraries. The "-L" option to make is necessary because targets are symbolic links, and the default make behaviour is to check the pointed file's timestamp and not the symlink's timestamp. |
