I changed this because I found certain cases where the substitution would not happen, and the '${prefix}' would end up as-is in a generated source file, which is obviously undesirable. And with the X11 move into /usr, I didn't foresee much need for prefix != /usr anyway. > And now with autoconf 2.60, we should be considering whether the > new --datarootdir needs to be specified, as well. Thanks for the heads-up, I'll look at it once 2.60 is in the distro. > One other nit - g-b-s removed lib/charset.alias after 'make install', > since that file is managed by postinstall of info; multiple packages build > this file, and would conflict if g-b-s didn't avoid distributing it. > cyginstall should do likewise. I don't see any reference to charset.alias in g-b-s HEAD, and AFAIK it belongs to gettext, not info. The only time I've needed to remove it was with glib2, which contains a gettext-based i18n API.
