[Gs-devel] building in different directories

[Marty Leisner]

I built gs7.00 on solaris and linux...
I wanted to lock down the source in one place...

This seems to be a relatively good way of doing it...

It would be a good idea to check for zlib, jpeg and png directories
instead of just failing compile make rules (haven't put this in yet).

This is the hacked up unix-gcc.mak...

(IMHO, it would be a good idea to segregate the makefiles out of source 
(into make scripts/ or support/ or something)

By default, DISTDIR could do something like
DISTDIR=$PWD
so by default it builds in the same directory...

I didn't see in the instructions how to do this...
