Re: [hylafax-users] Compiling hylafax-4.3.2beta2 under Solaris x86 10 using gcc-3.4.6

[Aidan Van Dyk <aidan@xxxxxxxx>]

So the problem appears to be that a "make install" doesn't guarantee
that the software is compile first.

Running make, before make install fixes. it.

Unfortunately, (or fortunately, depending on your view of of it).
HylaFAX does not use GNU autoconf/automake/libtool, and thus sometimes
builds a little differently than what people have become accustomed to
with many of the autoconf/automake projects.

AFAICT, all our documentation consistently points out a make [all] as a
step before a make install.

Do we want to try and make things work nicely with a single make install
and no preivous build?

Something like the following (untested) might work:
