According to INSTALL, keep your prefix as it should be on the final system. And, to paste the INSTALL text, DESTDIR is your friend on your test system: Installation su yourself to root, if you want to do a live install, then run make install or make install-strip to install Courier. If you use the GNU version of make, and you would like to see which files Courier installs and where, don't su yourself to root, but set the make variable named DESTDIR. For example: make install DESTDIR=/var/tmp/courier-inst The contents of DESTDIR are prepended to the name of every file installed, so if -- prefix was set to /usr/lib/courier, the files will be installed in /var/tmp/courier- inst/usr/lib/courier. This only works if you use GNU make. ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ courier-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/courier-users
