Make the build rule depend on the build artifact (weakref.node) itself
rather than the directory it's built in. Depending on the directory
means that a build failure won't trigger a rebuild on the next
invocation because the directory's timestamp has been updated.
Don't run configure when the configure script has been touched. Doing so
would be okay if the Makefile passed the original arguments to configure
but it doesn't - it runs configure without any arguments, effectively
destroying the current configuration.
Remove this misfeature and instead print an error message telling the
user to (re-)run configure.
Preserve default install prefix seen in process.config, but use DESTDIR
for installing to deliniate 32/64 versions, avoid conflicts with PREFIX
settings in config.mk

This change introduces support for the common PREFIX variable in the
Makefile and install.py, instead of having /usr/local hardcoded. This
makes it much easier to install node to custom locations e.g. in a
user's home directory.
The PREFIX variable defaults to /usr/local.
For example, to cross-compile from my OS X laptop for Raspberry Pi, you would
do something like:
$ make binary BINARYNAME=node-v`python tools/getnodeversion.py`-linux-arm-pi \
DESTCPU=arm CONFIG_FLAGS="--dest-os=linux"
- Improved styling of download links.
- index.html#download now redirects to /download/
- Added missing hyphens, and added the missing "and 64-bit" for the Mac
Installer.
This target compiles node with "/" as the prefix and installs into a directory
like: "node-v0.8.6-darwin-x86_64". Then it creates a gzipped-tarball of that
directory, called something like: "node-v0.8.6-darwin-x86_64.tar.gz".
The old installer was a JS script, which didn't work if node had been
cross-compiled for another architecture. Replace it with a python script.
Fixes#3807.
Make configure start gyp with the same python interpreter that is used to
run configure itself.
Fixes an issue where configure fails with a SyntaxError because the user
has multiple python binaries on his $PATH and the default one is too old.
