Hello, I have a problem when installing DirectFB when the target computer is not the one compiling the library. What I'm trying to do is the following : given a PC with development tools (gcc and the like) but on which I do not have root access and another PC which cannot compile and on which I would like to install DirectFB.
I "./configure && make" without problems, but I cannot do a "make install" to the system directories (/usr/local or /usr) as I lack root access. So I tried a "./configure --prefix=/temporary/blabla/blabla && make && make install" but when I copy the resulting libraries from /temporary/blabla/blabla/lib/* to the other PC /usr/lib (or /usr/local/lib) and try running a sample DirectFB application, it tells me it cannot find various files in /temporary/blabla/blabla/... which is correct since they are now in /usr/lib/... Is it possible to fool the installer and do a "make install" in a temporary directory (to gather the necessary files) and then transfer them to another PC but in another directory ? I have tried the various ./configure options or modifying the Makefile directly but with no success. I know the easy way would be to get a root access on the compiling PC and then making an install, copying the files and removing them from the PC, but the DirectFB compile process is part of a bigger batch process and it would not be very practical to do. Thank you very much for your assistance -- www.bytedump.com _______________________________________________ directfb-users mailing list [email protected] http://mail.directfb.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/directfb-users
