In fact, it's not the case that the variable isn't supported ANYMORE, but
that it's not supported YET.

This supported was added in silver minor (sterling), and in fact works
correctly there, as a way to create empty directories during the install
pass of a build.   

In silver maintenance and prior, this is done with a hardcoded "mkdir"
in the file src/setup/postinstall.sh.   In silver minor, you need to
add any empty directory mkdirs into postinstall.  As of silver minor,
these should NOT be done in postinstall, but should be done via the
INSTDIRS rule in the user Makefile.

(Also in this category is the SYMLINKS support, also moved from
postinstall.sh to Makefile magic in silver minor.)

Hope this points you on your way....

QAR 02406 was closed after (among other things) certain directoried were added 
for System Accounting level-3 branding. Those directories are not created when 
OSFACCTnnn is installed nor when ./usr/sbin/acct/ is built. 

Someone determained that the variable (make macro) INSTDIRS in the 
./usr/sbin/acct/Makefile isn't in any of the ./src/usr/lib/makefiles/ files. He 
concluded that the variable isn't supported by ode anymore. I tried this on 
every other variable in that makefile and INSTDIRS is the only one missing.

Is this conclusion correct; and, if so, what is the proper alternative to 
INSTDIRS? As I am a novice with makefiles, a cookbook answer would be greatly 
appreciated. Please call me if you have any questions.

	Thanks,

ADDITIONAL BACKGROUND:
	/usr/var/adm/ is the home directory of the adm account yet its owner and
	group are root system before and after the OSFACCTnnn kit is installed.
	The kit doesn't (errantly) make four directories at that point which
	are:
		./acct/
		./acct/nite/
		./acct/sum/
		./acct/fiscal/

	I have OSFACCT120 installed on an Alpha running 1.2 Rev10. I found
	OSFACCT130 in the agosmaint backing tree. The ./usr/sbin/acct/Makefile
	has references to the missing directories.

Hi Harinder,


First of all, you will need to get your Principal Name added to the
ACL list for the pools.  You will need your project leader or supervisor
to send mail to the appropriate project leader for the release you will
be working on [i.e. Joe Kenny for Gold Minor, Karen Dzendolet for Platinum]
and they will give you ACL access to the RCS pools.


There is a WWW server for Release Engineering which has ODE help information
in it.  It is at URL  http://nsa.zk3.dec.com/rengweb.

Also,  You can stop by Josh Friedman's office to pick up an ODE handout.
His office is 3/Z20.

John
