version of makeinfo must be used. The fix breaks bootstrapping of
texinfo by a simple `make' in the texinfo directory -- `make world'
must be used to bootstrap it if you don't know how to do it manually.
Fixed at least 7 style bugs in previous commit.
than ".so". The old extension conflicted with well-established
naming conventions for dynamically loadable modules.
The "clean" targets continue to remove ".so" files too, to deal with
old systems.
o make install ; make install now works
o make all ; make all is quiet the second time
o Dependancies are properliy debugged; this means that make -jN has a
far hihjer likelyhood of working.
o a proper 'link farm' has been constructed for the build. This
dramatically simplifies the dependancy tangle.
o for perldoc's use, all the .pod files are installed.
o the man3 docs are properly compressed.
o the man pages and libary code are installed by the makefiles, not
by a perl script.
o at the end, h2ph is run.
shared versions should not need to add -lm unless the program uses libm
itself. Strictly speaking, libg++ depends on libstdc++, but libstdc++
has dynamic dependencies on some exception tables and binutils doesn't
seem to like it when a secondary library has undefined references. It
doesn't seem to care when -lstdc++ is added on the command line to ld
though. Anyway, the c++ driver adds -lstdc++ explicitly, so that should
be OK. c++ also adds -lm explicitly too, even though it wouldn't need
to now. [except for statically linked binaries as .a files don't have an
equivalent of automatic internal shared object dependencies.]
are installed in the same place as on 2.2.*; this will almost
certainly change in the future.
While I'm here, finish off the shared library brouhaha with miniperl.
shamefully dropped on the floor. I need to add it now since it does a
minor number bump, but otherwise the current functionality of libdialog
is unchanged (in all its evil glory) and the change is non-intrusive.

1) Part of the NOSHARED fix; I messed this up and managed to get
perl installed without being linked to the shared library libperl.so.
This broke Perl in ELF when linking in shared objects.
2) Start of a cleanup of the man3 page location. This will (eventually)
allow for a the ports to put their pages in the "normal" ${PREFIX}-
based location.
3) Nuke cruft.
1) Inspired by JB's finding of a hardcoded /usr/bin/ranlib in the
config files, these have been properly cleaned up and have
been personalised for FreeBSD, not MarkM.
2) Inspired by Peter, copying of the lib/ext etc dirs has been
replaced by a link farm.
3) Common code has been moved to a higher-level Makefile.inc.
This has been tested with a make -j8.
