Use the destdir to specify where the files need to be installed. |
| 14 |
Prefix specifies where files are going to be when the program is run. |
| 15 |
Most programs support the DESTDIR variable. Sometimes overriding |
| 16 |
prefix at the install also works. But NEVER do it at compile time, as |
| 17 |
that might break things. |

If there is no easy way to have DESTDIR (or equiv) support you need to |
| 20 |
edit the makefile, and add it. That's very rare though. Most times |
| 21 |
you only need to specify every other destination option on the make |
| 22 |
install line. |
