Failed make install on OSX #15

Open tavurth opened 4 years ago

tavurth commented 4 years ago

Hi, nice to find your project, I was primarily looking for an alternative to nano for my quick text editing, I'm typically an emacs user.

When running sudo make install I run into an error about a missing folder /usr/local/share/man/man1

Expected Behavior

The make file should ensure directories exist before trying to write to them

Current Behavior

The make file assumes that the directory exists, (probably because it normally does on Linux?) and then the make install fails because there's no way to copy to that directory.

Possible Solution

I ran mkdir -p /usr/local/share/man/man1 which fixed the issue, maybe we could add it to the script.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. git clone git@github.com:jdwije/qemacs.git qemacs
  2. cd qemacs
  3. ./configure
  4. make && sudo make install

Context (Environment)

I'm running an OSX machine, pretty fresh, on Catalina version.
