GNU Info (stow.info)BootstrappingBootstrapping ************* Suppose you have a stow directory all set up and ready to go: `/usr/local/stow/perl' contains the Perl installation, `/usr/local/stow/stow' contains Stow itself, and perhaps you have other packages waiting to be stowed. You'd like to be able to do this: cd /usr/local/stow stow -vv * but `stow' is not yet in your `PATH'. Nor can you do this: cd /usr/local/stow stow/bin/stow -vv * because the `#!' line at the beginning of `stow' tries to locate Perl (usually in `/usr/local/bin/perl'), and that won't be found. The solution you must use is: cd /usr/local/stow perl/bin/perl stow/bin/stow -vv * automatically generated by info2www version 1.2.2.9 |
