Re: compiling insight 6.5 for release fails

I have downloaded insight 6.5 several weeks ago and compiled it
successfully. Following some usage, I tried to compile it in relase mode
using 'gmake -release'. The make failed, due to inavailability of
readline.o.
It seems that the readline sub-directory does not include a -release target.

I've never heard of the "-release" flag. I can find no mention of it in the texinfo manual or in the official manual from the FSF. AFAICT, telling GNU make to use the flag "-release" causes it to behave as if you had just used "-r" (which ignores built-in rules).


Nonetheless, readline is imported from upstream sources by gdb. If you have a problem with readline, it is best to tell those responsible for it. From src/MAINTAINERS:

"gdb/; readline/; sim/; GDB's part of include/
        GDB: http://www.gnu.org/software/gdb/
        Patches to gdb-patches@sources.redhat.com.
        See also gdb/MAINTAINERS and sim/MAINTAINERS."
