10.4 Installation Names
By default, ‘make install
’ will install into
/usr/local/bin
, /usr/local/man
, etc. You can
specify an installation prefix other than /usr/local
by
giving configure
the option --prefix=PATH
,
or by specifying a value for the DESTDIR
‘make
’
variable when running ‘make install
’.
You can specify separate installation prefixes for
architecture-specific files and architecture-independent files.
If you give configure
the option
--exec-prefix=PATH
, ‘make install
’ will use
PATH
as the prefix for installing programs and libraries.
Documentation and other data files will still use the regular prefix.
