>Description:
It is often nice to be able to use something other than /usr/bin/install
I usually use my own install.sh which avoids a lot of problems such
as running binaries, and problems installing as non-root:
install: /d2/users/sjg/nhack/testaddr/../bin/testaddr: chown/chgrp:
Operation not permitted
The patch below makes /usr/share/mk/* use $(INSTALL) instead.
It would be NICE if BINOWN etc we defined as:
BINOWN= -oroot
so that non root users could simply put
BINOWN=
in their Makefile and avoid all the errors (forcing them to install as
root or by hand).
If the above is ok, I can easily do the needed patches (to the whole
tree). Or supply the shell script to do it.
