302: - changed install-shared and uninstall-shared targets to depend on
303: install-headers and uninstall-headers, respectively, so users may
304: choose to install only the shared libraries. I'm not sure about

375: ---

415: -----
416: examples/rlfe.c
417: - rlfe can perform filename completion for relative pathnames in the

1208: Makefile.in
1209: - installdirs: make sure to create $(DESTDIR)$(docdir). Report from
1210: <hiroo.hayashi@computer.org>
1211:
1212: 1/27/2014
1213: ---------
1214: Makefile.in
1215: - install-examples: should not depend on `shared', since the examples
1216: themselves are not built using shared libraries. Report from
1217: <hiroo.hayashi@computer.org>
1218:
1219: support/shobj-conf
1220: - [from bash] darwin: changed the install_name embedded into the
1221: shared library to contain only the major version number, not the
1222: minor one. The idea is that the minor versions should all be API/ABI
1223: compatible, and it is better to link automatically with the latest
1224: one. Idea from Max Horn <max@quendi.de>

1240: - make sure $(INCLUDES) appears before $(CPPFLAGS) in the various
1241: CFLAGS assignments so readline looks in its own source and build
1242: directories (INCLUDES) before some directories specified by the
1243: user or builder (CPPFLAGS). Report and fix from Max Horn
