First I apologize for not keeping the same thread going here.  I'm on
different machines today and can't use reply.

I wrote earlier:

I know 'make' should do all this but I wanted to specify --prefix (wasn't
sure what the default is).

I am using Slackware 7.1.  make --version = GNU Make version 3.79.  I had
to link kgcc to gcc (egcs-2.91.66) to build the kernel (which built fine).

I built the xfsprogs without problem with the beta release.  This is from
last night cvs.

The first rule in cmd/xfsprogs/Makefile is

default: $(CONFIGURE)
ifeq ($(HAVE_BUILDDEFS), no)
        $(MAKE) -C . $@
else
        $(SUBDIRS_MAKERULE)
endif

and then later down:

install: default
        $(SUBDIRS_MAKERULE)
(etc...)

It looks like make is trying to build a file called 'default' which in
cmd/xfsprogs/include/Makefile is the first rule:

default install :

the above line looks wrong?
