| really? |
| 22 |
| then why in econf the ./configure stuff is done with absolute path? |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
Because those are the defaults. They have to default to something, even if |
| 25 |
unspecified (in that case --prefix=/usr/local iirc). |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
| if you pass to EXTRA_CONF --mandire for example then you'll have |
| 28 |
| ./configure --mandir /usr/share/man --mandir USER_SUPPLIED_PATH |
| 29 |
| what will happen? |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
afaik, configure will use the last specified option. If you specify --mandir |
| 32 |
twice, it'll use the last specified one (see for yourself). That's probably |
| 33 |
the reason EXTRA_ECONF is passed to configure *after* the paths. |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
| anyway I think it's cleaner to keep E_INFODIR, E_LOCALSTATEDIR, |
| 36 |
| E_MANDIR, E_SYSCONFDIR, E_DATADIR separated from EXTRA_CONF |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
It's your program, so you are more than welcome to. I just wanted to make sure |
| 39 |
you were aware that there is already a way to do this. |
