7. Bootstrapping
Suppose you have a stow directory all set up and ready to go:
‘/usr/local/stow/perl’ contains the Perl installation,
‘/usr/local/stow/stow’ contains Stow itself, and perhaps you have
other packages waiting to be stowed. You’d like to be able to do this:
| cd /usr/local/stow
stow -vv *
|
but stow
is not yet in your PATH
. Nor can you do this:
| cd /usr/local/stow
stow/bin/stow -vv *
|
because the ‘#!’ line at the beginning of stow
tries to
locate Perl (usually in ‘/usr/local/bin/perl’), and that won’t be
found. The solution you must use is:
| cd /usr/local/stow
perl/bin/perl stow/bin/stow -vv *
|
