Folks,
OK -- so it sounds like we have the following goals:
1. sources need to be configurable and buildable in the source directory
2. final install location needs to be part of the config for all the -
rpath junk
3. install/copy step needs to bypass the final install location and
copy to some other root
4. something in the config needs to ensure a proper Tcl build can be
located and used at runtime
5. we need to do the right thing for redhat, debian, and macos/x
installer things at least
6. something reasonable needs to work for windows as well
7. would also be good if something in the install helped build up the
server nsd.tcl config as well
8. finally, something should be done to rationalize the build of
modules included with aolserver and other modules -- right now
included modules benefit from source-directory build support, other
modules less so.
There was a lot of effort recently to use Tcl in the build to get
around windows/unix incompatibilities -- sounds like more work is
needed on the Unix specific pieces to get this right and draw in the
common modules.
And, sounds like folks are leaning toward the -rpath stuff being
mostly-good instead of mostly-bad?

But AOLserver 4 doesn't let you do this, and in fact makes it very

3.4.2, as I showed in my posting).
Maybe I'm misunderstanding this, but ... at least for the tip of the
aolserver_v40_bp branch, this is true:
# Default install into /some/path.
$ ./configure --prefix=/some/path
# Actually install into /some/other/path.
$ make install AOLSERVER=/some/other/path
# Install everything into /some/other/path, but binaries in
# /some/other/bins.
$ make install AOLSERVER=/some/other/path INSTBIN=/some/other/bins
Now, I don't know if all of this capability has been maintained in the
all the changes to the build system recently introduced for AOLserver
4.5.0 (current HEAD). If it hasn't, then yes, I understand your
complaint. But, as far as AOLserver 4.0.x is concerned, I don't see
what it doesn't do that you're complaining about?
