Comment on INSTALL in the CVS trees

[Tatsuro M. <tma...@ya...>]

Dear gnuplot developpers

The gnuplot is the one of the most essntial tool for my reseach work in my university.
I appreciate the all developpers to make such a good software.  

As a one of the user, I have a comment on 'INSTALL'.

I have build two binaries wgnuplot and gnuplot-djgpp.
First I have read INSTALL. 

MS-Windows
----------
General install instructions:
 Change into the "src" subdirectory.
 Build the program using one of the ways shown below this note.
 Put wgnuplot.exe, wgnuplot.hlp and wgnuplot.mnu all in a single
  directory somewhere.  You may want to add that directory to your PATH.
 There's no installer for gnuplot, so if you want a desktop link,
  program manager group or an association of *.plt or *.gpl files to
  wgnuplot, you'll have to do all that yourself.

However, in the config/makefile.mgw config/makefile.dj2
The following are described
# - compile the package: go to directory 'gnuplot' and therefrom run
#	 make -C src -f ../config/makefile.mgw
#

#       from the main gnuplot directory, do:
#       make -C src -f ../config/makefile.dj2


According to the makefile instruction, we have to go the gnuplot directry but not to gnuplot/src.
However, in the INSTALL, we should go to the  gnuplot/src

I made the binary according to the instruction in the makefile.

Why the this confilction being not to be corrected?
I think that the instructions in comment in the makefile is newer.

At least, the sentenses like the followindg should be added to the INSTALL

The more latest information of install is described in the comments in each makefile.xxx (xxx is the
name of the platfrom.).  Please also read it before install.

Regards

Tatsuro
