From 50b32848c2e8065a4b3646a5e0c17a0adb54781e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Arnout Vandecappelle (Essensium/Mind)" Date: Tue, 27 Nov 2012 11:59:19 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] manual: give example where _INSTALL_TARGET = NO The tutorial for autotools-package and cmake-package currently gives the bad example of setting _INSTALL_TARGET to YES, which is the default. So change this into an example with _INSTALL_TARGET = NO, and explain in which case this is relevant.
