[Nasm-devel] Makefile.am

[Trevor W. <na...@vt...>]

Just wondering if there's any chance that the following patch, or 
something like it, might be accepted. Is the "-D" option considered 
generic? I'm guessing there's probably a more acceptable way of doing 
this?

Reason: If you do a 'make install' to a prefix that doesn't yet exist, 
the installer will bork out (under Linux anyway). The '-D' option tells 
the installer to create any directories leading up to the install 
location if the don't already exist.
