Hello all, I've got a question on the rationale behind --program-prefix, --program-suffix and --program-transform-name.
If we configure our library with --program-prefix=foo, every installed file gets the foo prefix, including man pages for functions, and our -config script. This makes it difficult for developers to find the man pages, and pretty much impossible for programs who want to use the library to find our -config program. Now I'm not saying this is a bug with program-prefix, but I would like to know what it is used for, and if we should write the library to handle it. My intuitive feel for what program-prefix should do is to only prefix compiled programs, and only those manpages in sections that deal with programs, but unaware of what program-prefix and friends are used for, I'm probably wildly off target. thanks for your time, -- Clinton Roy Meetings - ``Try, or no try; there is no do.''
