(i.e. Not in /usr/lib, /usr/new, >/usr/include, /usr/man, etc.) I have tried modifying the strings >DESTDIR, CONFDIR, and XDIR in the Makefile to no avail... (This was discussed in articles <3279@osu-eddie.UUCP> and <8703041827.AA16574@cleo> in March.) We keep local things under /u/osu/{bin,lib,include} which caused some installation grief. One would hope that modifying DESTDIR, CONFDIR, and XDIR might help, but it's not really so. The install: targets are pretty hardwired to put things under `whatever' and `whatever/lib', rather than `whatever/bin' and `whatever/lib'. The bad news: you must edit each instance of a mv, cp, or install in each Makefile's install: targets to put things where you want them. Hopefully, the X11 distribution will be a little easier to install in non-standard locations? -=- Bob Sutterfield, Department of Computer and Information Science The Ohio State University; 2036 Neil Ave. Columbus OH USA 43210-1277 bob@ohio-state.{arpa,csnet} or ...!cbosgd!osu-eddie!bob soon: bob@aargh.cis.ohio-state.edu
