Jim Blandy dba865e0ba Bug 463339: Have js/src use symlinks when installing in dist. r=bsmedberg ... A directory's 'libs' target should create symlinks in the top-level dist/bin and dist/lib directories to the libraries (and any other generated files) in the build tree, so that when one has changed sources in $src/js/src, simply running 'make' in $obj/js/src and then re-running $obj/dist/bin/firefox will pick up the new libraries. The js/src/Makefile.in 'install' target has many double-colon rules with commands; we'd like to use these all in two circumstances: . For 'make install' in a stand-alone js/src build. Since we're following GNU behavior, this should copy the files it's installing. . For 'make libs' in an in-tree js/src build. To interact properly with the rest of the Mozilla build system, this should create symlinks as explained above. To accomplish this, we use plain old $(INSTALL) in all the install targets, have js/src/Makefile.in set NSDISTMODE to copy (to get the GNU behavior), and then have config/js/Makefile.in override that (to get the Mozilla in-tree behavior).		2008-12-08 09:35:58 -08:00
