Re: [Slashcode-development] Makefile problems on FreeBSD

[Eric D. <eri...@ja...>]

Yeah. No problem.

Though I notice that if lines 131-133 (the rm thing), and omit the -u flag from
lines 145-147, I get .bak files installed in the /usr/local/slash directories. So,
I'll have like a admin.pl.bak and an admin.pl.

Kind of annoying, but not a huge deal............
