Description Raimo Niskanen 2005-08-30 11:32:29 UTC 
Version details: 1.4.4 tarball
Distribution/Version: 8

"make install" on Solaris8 fails because /usr/bin/install does not exist.
/usr/ucb/install, /usr/sbin/install, and /etc/install do exist, probably with
different features.

./configure should find a usable install and write that into Makefile. Why not
use the GNU Autoconf utility to create the ./configure script? It is designed
for solving such problems.

Marking this bug dependent to my RPM .spec improvement.  The work I am doing to
the Makefiles and configure script warrant the dependency marking.
Comment 2 Kevin McBride 2005-11-05 21:37:26 UTC 
Raimo, please check to see if the info in bug # 136633 helps you, and post
comments to this bug about your results.

Dimitri, I think we need to mark this bug as "Needs Info" before I work on
adding some auto-detection for Solaris.
Comment 3 Raimo Niskanen 2005-11-07 08:17:16 UTC 
I have not tested (I no longer use doxygen - I only did a quick validation
then), but the patch in http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=136633 should
do it. /usr/ucb/install does exist on Solaris, and if it has been confirmed to
be usable, the suggested patch must work.
Comment 4 albert 2015-05-16 16:26:06 UTC 
Seen the changes regarding installation commands in the configure script and what is tested (a.o. /usr/ucb/install), the remark in comment 3 and the related bug_136633 this problem should be fixed.

I think the problem has been fixed in the mean time.
Comment 5 Dimitri van Heesch 2015-05-16 17:11:11 UTC 
Setting to fixed as suggested. Please reopen this bug report if you still see this issue with the latest version of doxygen. Add a self-contained example (source+config file in a zip or tar) if possible.
