DESTDIR isn't set for normal builds. That's a variable that lets you
override installation paths, commonly used by package management
systems like apt.
For a regular build, the build targets should be something like $
(DESTDIR)$(bindir) where $DESTDIR is empty. The $bindir variable
should be near the top of the Makefile. Mine is:
bindir = ${exec_prefix}/bin
And exec_prefix is:
exec_prefix = ${prefix}
and prefix is:
prefix = /usr/brlcad
If your exec_prefix variable is simply empty, that would match the
installation behavior you're observing. If that's the case and
you're using GNU make, then you could actually override the variable
with "make exec_prefix=/usr" .. or using DESTDIR in a similar manner.
Cheers!
