[Sdcc-user] make install cleaning up after itself

[Simon M. <S.M...@dt...>]

If it's possible, I'd like to suggest a very minor change to the make 
install process; adding the -f option to rm so it doesn't prompt some 
people for file deletion a few hundred times (especially the subversion 
files, which have ro permissions so it asks for confirmation).  It's 
quite frustrating.

There are a couple of cases.  Something along these lines:
