for it, so it's not doing me much good. Is there any way to print it
last?
This is the error message I'm referring to, in case that helps:
% make install
WARNING: version string 2.3b.21-d67c5-dirty is out of date; run autoreconf -f
to fix it
make install-recursive
Well, I tried to make it a hard error, so that it would be the only
output, but others on the list convinced me to reduce it back to a
warning. I don't know of any GNU make construct to make it appear last.
Maybe we just insert a sleep 10 after printing the warning, so that the
interactive user has time to notice the message and Ctrl-C the build,
while an unattended install eventually proceeds?
