Hi,

I have some comments about the Makefile in version 3a4. It seems to do a lot
of assuming of existence of the directories stored in the variables prefix et
al. I'm currently using
prefix = /var/tmp/portage/dev-scheme/slib-3.1.4-r2/image//usr/
because there is no DESTDIR observance. I need the following patch to make
"make infoz" work:


- --- Makefile.old        2007-06-02 13:35:00.000000000 +0200
+++ Makefile    2007-06-02 13:39:41.000000000 +0200
@@ -259,6 +259,7 @@
 info:  installinfo
 installinfo:   $(infodir)slib.info
 $(infodir)slib.info:   slib.info
+       mkdir -p $(infodir)
        cp -p slib.info $(infodir)slib.info
        -install-info $(infodir)slib.info $(infodir)dir
        -rm $(infodir)slib.info.gz


It is possible to make other things fail by choosing non-pre-existing
directories for other variables. To remedy that I propose to run a

sed 's_mkdir_mkdir -p_g' -i Makefile
sed 's_-p -p_-p_g' -i Makefile

over the Makefile.
