    Modified Files:
    install/GNUmakefile
    Log Message:
    Install webv4 too and use symlinks for most directories.

    The webv4 directory is now part of the repo, so install it to the
    install target directory too.

    When SYMLINK=1 is used, symlink the following directories (rather
    than copying): docs, exec, text, web, webv4, and xtrn. This will
    hopefully make subsequenit updating (via git) easier for most sysops that use this installation method. Let the merge conflicts insue.

    Build the native doors (sbj, dpoker, tbd) in the sbbs/xtrn dir

    Just in case the sysop chose not to specify SYMLINK=1.
    As reported by Dan_C via IRC, thanks.

    Log Message:
    Fix SBJ, TBD, and DPOKER builds when installed withOUT SYMLINK=1

    Needed to pass path to the "src" (SRC_ROOT), not SBBS_SRC.

    Also updated the gitlab URLs to use main/sbbs instead of sbbs/sbbs.

    Log Message:
    Add optional NOCAP command-line option (call with NOCAP=1)

    This can be used to defeat the automatic inclusion of the sbbs3
    "setcap" build target when building on Linux. This should address
    issue #175.

    Log Message:
    Fix typo in condition (if linux) for setting the SETCAP/setcap target

    As reported via irc by Nelgin, the setcap target was not being passed
    to 'make -C src/sbbs3' by default (on Linux) due to a misplaced paren.

    Modified Files:
    install/GNUmakefile
    Log Message:
    Make the default SETCAP value to be /sbin/setcap

    <Dan_C> DigitalMan: minor install issue noted today - during a fresh (Linux) install on a test box, the build failed because it was unable to execute the "sudo setcap ..." command. This was on Slackware 15.0, where the setcap executable is located in /sbin , and that directory is not in the $PATH of a normal user, or even when a normal user uses the 'sudo' command.

    Also include SETCAP in the set of documented make variables.

    SETCAP isn't a command-line afterall, it's a build target.

    Log Message:
    Don't set/reset ownership of files if Linux setcap was used

    'chown' resets Linux capabilities (e.g. cap_net_bind_service=ep), so these calls reset the earlier bind-capabilities enablement, meaning the auto-setup feature on Linux-install really never worked?
