Subject: [PATCH 2/3] Makefile: Add "make help" telling users to read INSTALL and Makefile
Date: Mon, 25 May 2009 18:07:10 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1243289231-32500-2-git-send-email-naesten@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1243289231-32500-1-git-send-email-naesten@gmail.com>

Without this, "make help" first builds "help.o", then tries to link it to
make a "help" executable, which might take a while to fail in a clean tree.
