I hadn't noticed the DESTDIR capability. I was reading the ./configure --help, which mentions: ===== Installation directories: --prefix=PREFIX install architecture-independent files in PREFIX [/usr/local] --exec-prefix=EPREFIX install architecture-dependent files in EPREFIX [PREFIX] By default, `make install' will install all the files in `/usr/local/bin', `/usr/local/lib' etc. You can specify an installation prefix other than `/usr/local' using `--prefix', for instance `--prefix=$HOME'. For better control, use the options below. Fine tuning of the installation directories: --bindir=DIR user executables [EPREFIX/bin] --sbindir=DIR system admin executables [EPREFIX/sbin] --libexecdir=DIR program executables [EPREFIX/libexec] ... ===== My most recent spec had: make install \ prefix=%{buildroot}%{_prefix} \ execprefix=%{buildroot}%{_bindir} \ bindir=%{buildroot}%{_bindir} \ datadir=%{buildroot}%{_datadir} helpdir=%{buildroot}%{_datadir}/%{name} \ mandir=%{buildroot}%{_mandir} \ , which hadn't made much difference. Where does DESTDIR definition come from ? Where is it normally documented ?
