[squid-users] installing Squid: /run dir creation

[Vieri]

Hi,

My Linux distro warns me that when trying to install Squid an attempt is made to write to a "volatile" dir.

The Makefile in the src subdir contains:

    $(mkinstalldirs) $(DESTDIR)`dirname $(DEFAULT_PID_FILE)`

The default PID file being /run/squid.pid, the above tries to make the /run dir.

Is it necessary to keep this in the Makefile?

Shouldn't the /run/* files be created at runtime anyway?

The /run dir is also created by the OS.

Thanks,

Vieri
