Rather the opposite: makefiles should be portable, especially if the project used configure scripts/programs to generate them. * Your code tries to install into /opt or /usr/local [ +10 points of FAIL ] by FHS they are totally valid. I am not a big fan of /opt either, but it's still 100 times better than /your_company_name (have seen such systems with my own eyes!). A traditional policy is to install software from source to /usr/local by default and let the package manager of your system use /usr. The == History == part is buggy too: the only way to come up with a proper open source software is to start it from scratch? Aside of these few bugs, it's worth calculating the score for both pcb and gschem. Regards, Igor2
