Use of 'install' is specific to GNU implementation, so fails on macOS

[duncanmmacleod]

This usage of the install command in Makefile relies on the -D flag only available in the GNU implementation, so this fails by default on macOS:

cvmfs-config-osg/Makefile

Lines 15 to 17 in 0e04406

	install -D -m 444 60-osg.conf $(DESTDIR)/etc/cvmfs/default.d
	install -D -m 444 config-osg.opensciencegrid.org.conf $(DESTDIR)/etc/cvmfs/config.d
	install -D -m 444 opensciencegrid.org.pub $(DESTDIR)/etc/cvmfs/keys/opensciencegrid.org

Is there a chance to update the calls to work with all implementations?

Sure, that could be done. Do you want to submit a PR? Install is just a convenience tool and everything it does can be done by other shell commands, I believe.

Does the rest of cvmfs work on macOS well, though? I doubt cvmfs-x509-helper has been ported, for instance.

By simply removing the -D flags from the Makefile, things seem to install and work as expected for me on macOS Monterey 12.2.1.

Ok but will it work without -D on Linux? Looks like what it does is mkdir -p $(dirname dest) so that could be separately implemented.

[b4rlw]

Not sure! I've never had to use cvmfs on Linux before, so I'll leave that one to the better informed.
