Permission for doc/examples with sudo make install

[Misairu-G]

Hi, it looks like make install set everything inside /usr/share/doc/check to 0600 and 0700. If anyone try install it with sudo make install, those examples will be unaccessible.

I think 0644 and 0755 would be a better option.

Looking through the configure script and Makefile.am files, I do not see where the permissions are being set, especially to 600 or 700. If you happen to know what is going on in this case, let me know.

If you run make -n install after building, you can see all of the commands that make would run if you ran it without the -n flag.

list='ChangeLog NEWS README COPYING.LESSER'; test -n "/usr/local/share/doc/check" || list=; \
if test -n "$list"; then \
  echo " /usr/bin/mkdir -p '/usr/local/share/doc/check'"; \
  /usr/bin/mkdir -p "/usr/local/share/doc/check" || exit 1; \
fi; \
for p in $list; do \
  if test -f "$p"; then d=; else d="./"; fi; \
  echo "$d$p"; \
done | sed '$!N;$!N;$!N;$!N;$!N;$!N;$!N;s/\n/ /g' | sed '$!N;$!N;$!N;$!N;s/\n/ /g' | \
while read files; do \
  echo " /usr/bin/install -c -m 644 $files '/usr/local/share/doc/check'"; \
  /usr/bin/install -c -m 644 $files "/usr/local/share/doc/check" || exit $?; \
done

With that being said, everything looks to be in order here. The install commands run by both Arch Linux and FreeBSD are using the default of 0644 for files.

Is it possible you had a more restrictive umask(1) setting set when you ran the command?
