Copying binaries from one machine to another [9.1.1]

[Bob Vance]

FWIW
This is kinda kludgey, but I always configure a new version first with
the "--prefix" set to "instdir" at the same level in the source tree as
the original *.gz file (parent of the working source directory).  This
installs all the files there, so I know exactly what will be put in the
"real" system location.  This also allows me to quickly fall back to
previous versions if I need to, by simply copying the requisite files to
the "system" locations (/usr/local", in my case).  (actually, I keep 2
versions installed with a directory symlink pointing to the "current"
directory.  To fall back, I just change the symlink).

However, under BIND9, two of the executables have the "--prefix"
directory name included in the source for the default config filename so
that it becomes "hard-coded" in the binary:

    named
and
    lwresd

So, I go back and re-configure without the --prefix and redo a make for
just those 2 executables and then move them into the "instdir".

Subject: Copying binaries from one machine to another [9.1.1]



Hi,

I've built 9.1.1 on one machine, and would like to copy the
required binary & library files to other machines.

The other machines are running the same version of the O/S, but
do not have a compiler on them.

Is there a simple way to get a list of all of the req'd files?

I thought that there was a flag for 'make' ( -m?) that did this,
but that didn't work.

Thanks a lot.
