Quoting `(automake.info)Auxiliary Programs': | `mkinstalldirs' | This script used to be a wrapper around `mkdir -p', which is not | portable. Now we prefer to use `install-sh -d' when configure | finds that `mkdir -p' does not work, this makes one less script to | distribute. | | For backward compatibility `mkinstalldirs' is still used and | distributed when `automake' finds it in a package. But it is no | longer installed automatically, and it should be safe to remove it. If you use Automake 1.10, use $(MKDIR_P) which will be `install-sh -d' if needed. Hope that helps. Cheers, Ralf
