Well I finally had Andrew ready to go.

Brought X11R4 up to patchlevel 14.
Built all the Andrew Makefiles.

make dependInstall

barf
.....: no such file or directory

The build process is not creating subdirectories under DESTDIR.

I am building Andrew from a clean slate so those of you who simply(?) updated
from patchlevel 5 probably did not encounter this problem.

For a time I just waited for the build to die, created whatever directory it
complained about and then restarted the build however some things did not
worry about the lack of a suitable directory so at one stage I had a file
called $(DESTDIR)/bin which was not a directory but a sparc executable.
Interesting concept that -- an executable directory.

If there is a simple fix to this problem I would appreciate it. If not then
could somebody mail me a list of subdirectories and I will create them by hand
before I try building again. In this case assume that I am building everything
(ODA,AMS,contrib,...).

Thanks
-Cameron
