openssh unix dev - Mar 2001 - Make Install Problems

I'm in the process of installing openssh 2.5.1p2 and the make install
step fails. I did the build without problems. Now when I attempt to do
the make install it fails with the output below.

Software build process should have to separate steps. A build step and
an install step. The install step should not create or modify any files
in the tree structure as this will fail when a root user is installing
from an NFS mounted build tree. This is very common. If it is found that
it is necessary to have a temporary file then it should be created in a
location like /var/tmp.

spruce: # gmake install
/usr/local/bin/perl ./fixpaths -D/etc/ssh_config=/usr/local/etc/ssh_config
-D/etc/ssh_known_hosts=/usr/local/etc/ssh_known_hosts
-D/etc/sshd_config=/usr/local/etc/sshd_config -D/usr/libexec=/usr/local/libexec

Attached are some quick modifications I made to fix the make install
problems that I previously sent e-mail about. I modified the Makefile
and the fixpaths perl script.

In the make file I added suffixes for the manual pages and the
configuration files. Then I added implicit rules for translating the
manual files and configuration files to ".out" files. I also renamed
the
configuration files to have a .cfg suffix. Its not perfect as it makes
no sense wasting time running the primes file through the fixpaths
script. But at least make does not try and do any work if all the work
requested is done all ready.  I also needed to modify the install files
target for the file name changes.

Attached are the modified Makefile and fixpaths script.
