Re: patch org-mode Makefile - solve a couple debian build problems and a slackware build problem

[Jude DaShiell <jdashiel@shellworld.net>]

I just ran make update && make all && sudo make install && sudo make 
install-info-debian and updated org-mode to 7.6.  I put two mods into the 
org-mode default Make file.  The prefix I changed to /usr and the change 
suggested on install-info-debian target changing out $(infodir) with 
ginstall-info I think on line 227 and won't know if this patch will work 
since the message nothing to be done for install-info-debian came back.  
A command of info org tells me the documentation is current for org 7.50.  
When either documentation gets updated or version of documentation gets 
updated (may be enough to install new documentation just doing that) I'll 
be able to do some testing.  I need to read up on patch before trying to 
extract patches from messages and applying them locally so I do it 
right.On Sun, 10 Jul 2011, Achim Gratz wrote:
