What's the reason for not using `make install'?
Because it's too general I'd say.
FYI, I use "make install" myself and have done so for many years now as I find it just takes an extra few steps away that I don't have to do. (ie: manually copy, etc).
I don't think it really matter tbh.
Thanks for your explanations. IMO `make install' is a convenient and well-known idiom, thus I wondered why it wasn't used. But running the necessary commands directly is fine too. Maybe a comment on this in the handbook would be nice. meillo
