I understand that. What I'm saying is that it's trivial for a Windows user to create a C:\usr directory -- especially if that user is an administrator on the box, which is usually the case with Microsoft Windows users in general, and developers specifically because they like to have complete control. The same is not true on a UNIX box: almost no work is ever done as an administrator, so trying to write to /usr is kind of obnoxious. Feel free to have the last word on this one, 'cause I just don't really care at this point. >> If "compile" requires some other target first, why doesn't >> it do so explicitly? > > The build-prepare target is only intended to be run once, as part of > the initialization.

TC 7 has roughly the same target, and the "compile" target uses it as a dependency. - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAkyY4h0ACgkQ9CaO5/Lv0PBiPwCeOyPUpkLvn0UObx/Jilfqzjl6 fJgAoIMi1/UPZAuf5J1GcJf65mKOO3ED =F3lU -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
