minimum installation query

[<pl...@pi...>]

Hi,

I am trying to build a minimum sized installation for use on an arm SBC =
 =

using crosstools on debian 3.1

Mostly it seems to be going perfectly but I have a couple of hitches.

Firstly gnuplot.gih is about half a meg that I could do without. It's  =

addind about 25% to the foot print and will be totally useless on the  =

headless target. Is there (or should there be) a means to take this out =
of  =

the build options?

I could of course just delete it but that's a hack and I dont know if it=
  =

will cause a failure at runtime.


Also it appears not to get built by `make` but during `make install` it =
 =

seems to be detected as missing and an attempt is made to build it. This=
  =

suggests an error in the make files.


prof@debbox:~/tmp/gnuplot$ ./configure --without-x --without-tutorial  =

--without-pdf --without-cairo
--disable-wxwidgets --without-gd --with-readline=3Dbuiltin
--prefix=3D/debsTS/usr --host=3Darm-linux


su
make install
....

This error is coming to light since root does not have the cross compile=
r  =

in its path. If I try install as user (which it does not have write perm=
s  =

for) it creates the gih and then root can install it. Again it seems wro=
ng  =

that it only gets build by make install rather than make. Root should no=
t  =

need to build anything to run install and finally, as I said I do not wa=
nt  =

the gih file anyway.

./configure tells me that help is always build . This seems to be half  =

correct. I would be best for this installation if I could be opted out.

What is the best way to clean this up?

Thanks in advance, Peter.
