-#
-# makedist - make a linux distribution.
-#
-# Note: YOU MUST "MAKE INSTALL" FLTK PRIOR TO RUNNING THIS SCRIPT.
-#
-# This is because the developers of the RPM distribution
-# tools don't have an easy way to install a set of files
-# to any location you want, e.g.:
-#
-# destination-file = source-file
-#
-# If you look at the other (commercial) UNIX distributions
-# you'll notice that ALL of them (except for Digital UNIX)
-# support this syntax in one form or another.
-#
-# Several folks have pointed out the "build root" stuff
-# provided by RPM. There are two problems with this:
-#
-# 1. You still need to install the files somewhere prior
-# to making the installation.
-# 2. Users can then install the software at a different
-# location, which will cause a lot of problems with
-# the FLTK DSOs.
-#
-# Also, this script currently only builds a binary distribution.
-# FLTK's source tar file builds under Linux without any modification.
-#
-# Finally, if you ask me the RPM install process is simple and
-# slick. You can rebuild software from source automatically, etc.
-# If it weren't for the fact that the RPM build process is so
-# bass ackwards I'd love it completely.
