ambiguous instructions in HOpenGL install

If you do "./configure" successfully, a message appears: Configuration done successfully. Now do "make depend " and then "make" or "make install" ^^ But the INSTALL file that comes with GHC says that you must do (in order): ./configure make depend make all make install [<-- optionally] Shouldn't these two installing instructions sources be more consistent (or more clear)? Or am I too rigorous with this? -- Andre

Ooops, a small oversight in the INSTALL file: The target "install" depends on "all", so you don't have to issue a "make all" (or the equivalent "make") before a "make install". Things should be even easier if you have GNU make (IIRC), because it is smart enough to re-read included Makefile fragments if they have changed due to the execution of a rule. So for GNU make you can simply say "make depend all" or "make depend install". But I haven't tested that... Cheers, S.

So why after doing "make install" the examples in the redbook are not compiled? -- Andre
