Description Jeremy Lin 2002-09-07 12:29:33 UTC 
/bin/test on Solaris doesn't support the -e, so make install will fail at

$(LOCAL_RULES_DIR)/local.cf: rules/local.cf
        test -e $@ || \
          $(CP) rules/local.cf $@

I think -w is probably the best alternative.

What? No -e on Solaris? Weird. I'll fix it...
Comment 2 Malte S. Stretz 2002-09-11 14:38:30 UTC 
Ok, it's fixed with the latest big commit I did. We use now -f instead of -e.
