Hi Brandon:
Thanks much for your patch! This is great! Your changes will land in the
next version of LibreJS.
I haven't had much time to look into Make as much as I ought to. One of
the things the makefile does is to run `cfx xpi'. I remember posting
information on the best way to do make "activate" permanent on a
GNU/Linux system, but I can't find it anymore. There are instruction in
the Mozilla Addon SDK document. You can see the installation guide on
how to activate it and make it permanent:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/developers/docs/sdk/latest/dev-guide/tutorials/installation.html
I've tried to figure out a way to make this a little smoother with the
makefile. Would you have any recommendation on how to proceed?
Thanks for your and patch and for your input!

Hi,
I'm the maintainer of GSRC (GNU Source Release Collection), which uses
Makefile trickery to install GNU software from source, usually to a
non-standard location (i.e. /gnu or ~/gnu instead of /usr).
I've attached a patch for the LibreJS Makefile to better support installing
to non-standard locations through the addition of the DESTDIR, prefix
and libdir variables.
It also replaces the calls to mkdir with install -d, for the odd occasion
in which the user is installing the plugin when the $(libdir)/mozilla
directory doesn't exist due to the user not having a Mozilla-based
browser installed yet.
I've tested this against the just-released librejs 4.9, but since it's
not really interfering with the code, I can't imagine that it will fail
on the latest repo trunk. Nevertheless, if you would prefer that I patch
against that, let me know.
Cheers,
