I even checked a few flavours that are traditionally late adopters (IRIX, HP-UX, etc), and they all support -p. I think it's safe to default to -p. MV> * prefix defaults to /usr.

And make/gcc.mak is for people that build themselves, so I don't see the problem. Every other package out there, including other compilers, default to /usr/local when build from source, so I don't see why cc65 should differ.

Again, I think it's safe to default to using install, with install-sh as a commented out fallback for users stuck on systems without it (and out of curiosity, are there any?). -- ___ . . . . . + . . o _|___|_ + . + . + .
