[Tclxml-users] Confusing information in ./configure --help

[Thomas M. <mae...@gl...>]

After some troubles, I have finally managed to install TclXML 2.5 on Tcl =
8.3.5=20
/ tcllib 1.3. One of my problems was the --exec_prefix option to configur=
e.

1. This option is unusual; the usual spelling is --exec-prefix (hyphen in=
stead=20
of underscore)

2. ./configure --help says:

  --prefix=3DPREFIX         install architecture-independent files in PRE=
FIX
                          [/usr/local]
  --exec-prefix=3DEPREFIX   install architecture-dependent files in EPREF=
IX
                          [PREFIX]

suggesting that the option is optional if EPREFIX should be equal to PREF=
IX.

IMHO, --exec_prefix should be renamed to --exec-prefix, and its interpret=
ation=20
should conform to what --help says.
