It's not just the DEPENDS: an executable built with ROOT=/usr/local |
| 10 |
becomes *copied/extracted* into /usr/local/usr/bin, but it _knows_ |
| 11 |
(compiled in) to run from /usr/bin. |
| 12 |
ROOT is intended to "cross-bootstrap" (better words?) a stage{1,2,3} or |
| 13 |
the like to be copied to another box - or used with 'chroot /usr/local', |
| 14 |
which is not what i understand as how to use a secondary pkgm. |
