No, though I discovered from personal experience that this shell fragment
is too long on some systems to appear on a command line. The pty buffer on
some systems is very small---if you try to do "make installdirs", you get
an immediate failure. Running it interactively just prints lots of C-g's.
What I did for the texinfo distribution is to put the script in a separate
file called `mkinstalldirs', then invoke it from the Makefile with the
appropriate arguments. Here is what it looks like:
#!/bin/sh
# Make directory hierarchy.
# Written by Noah Friedman <friedman@prep.ai.mit.edu>
# Public domain.
umask 002
for file in ${1+"$@"} ; do
oIFS="${IFS}"; IFS='/'; set - ${file}; IFS="${oIFS}"
test ".${1}" = "." && shift
pathcomp=''
while test $# -ne 0 ; do
pathcomp="${pathcomp}/${1}"
shift
if test ! -d "${pathcomp}"; then
echo "mkdir $pathcomp" 1>&2
mkdir "${pathcomp}"
fi
done
done
