In particular, anything using QT will probably need I_R instead of DESTDIR. NB - I only use the DESTDIR approach when looking at a new package, or when editing the book. There are also several packages which appear to respect DESTDIR but which do things requiring root privileges - only noticeable because if DESTDIR install fails, there are probably others where a DESTDIR install doesn't do everything but nevertheless ends successfully. ĸen -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, dieses Mal als Farce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
