Yeah. I was wondering that too. Upon examination there are two install programs. Install.exe and install-sh. Install.exe is some binary program with no apparent source, install-sh is ansh script, that _does_ check for ..exe, however most programs (in fact all..) that I've seen check for install and not install-sh. Rename install.exe to install.ex_ or delete it, and rename install-sh to install. This should solve everything. > changing install commands in makefiles would surely be a good thing to avoid. - alex - For help on using this list (especially unsubscribing), send a message to "gnu-win32-request@cygnus.com" with one line of text: "help".
