[Integrit-users] install program

[<RD...@ga...>]

I'm trying to install integrit on HP-UX 10.20 and have run into a problem with
the "install" program used in the Makefiles.  From what I can see this problem
also applies also to HP-UX 11.0 and AIX 4.2 (and maybe others).  SGI IRIX
appears to provide compatibility.  I can work around the problem by manually
creating needed directories.

The exact line in the main Makefile (a similar one occurs in other Makefiles)
is:

$(INSTALL) -d -m 755 $(SBINDIR); \

The output to the screen when running "gmake install" is:

creating directory /opt/integrit-2.03/sbin
cp: illegal option -- d
Usage:  cp [-f|-i] [-p] [-e warn|force|ignore] source_file target_file
        cp [-f|-i] [-p] [-e warn|force|ignore] source_file ... target_directory
        cp [-f|-i] [-p] -R|-r [-e warn|force|ignore] source_directory ...
target_directory


The problem is the -d option.  HP's don't have it.  Neither does AIX 4.2.  As
far as I can see, you can't use "install" under those systems to create a
directory; only to install files in existing directories.

There is also a problem with the -s option.  I've excerpted the man pages for
install from a few systems to give more info.

Under SGI IRIX 6.5:

     BSD/GNU compatibility (where the target file or directory is the last
     argument) is supported in case none of the mandatory arguments (-f, -F,
     or -dir) is provided. In this case the -s option means strip.

the -s option normally has this meaning:

     -s              Be silent.  Older versions of install printed verbose
                     information by default when installing.  Install is now
                     silent by default, but this option remains for
                     compatibility.

the -c and -d options:

     -c              BSD old compatibility mode (ignored)

     -dir (or -d for BSD/GNU compatibility)
                     Create directories named by concatenating $ROOT to the
                     file arguments.  When -dir is given, all the file
                     arguments are taken as directories; files and directories
                     may not both be installed with the same command.


Under AIX 4.2, they provide two commands, install and installbsd.  However,
neither of them has a -d option for creating directories.

install Command

Syntax

/usr/bin/install [ -c DirectoryA ] [ -f DirectoryB ] [ -i ]
[ -m ] [ -M Mode ] [ -O Owner ] [ -G Group ] [ -S ] [ -n
DirectoryC ] [ -o ] [ -s ] File [ Directory ... ]

-s      Suppresses the display of all but error messages.

-S      Causes the binary to be stripped after installation.

installbsd Command

Purpose

Installs a command (BSD version of the install command).

Syntax

/usr/bin/installbsd [-c ] [-g Group ] [-m Mode ] [-o Owner
] [-s ] BinaryFile Destination

-s      Causes the file specified by the BinaryFile parameter to be stripped
after installation.


Under HP-UX 10.20 and 11.0 the man page has these options:

 install(1M)                                                     install(1M)

 NAME
      install - install commands

 SYNOPSIS
      /usr/sbin/install [-c dira] [-f dirb] [-i] [-n dirc] [-o] [-g group]
      [-s] [-u user] file [dirx ...]
