Hi I obviously don't get how DESTDIR is supposed to work. Or the install script is buggy, but surely many people have used it before me. :-)
I'm currently trying to install Exim 4.62 into /opt/exim, with everything that is Exim-related underneath that directory. So I have this in Local/Makefile: "CONFIGURE_FILE=/etc/configure" I do a "make" and a "make DESTDIR=/opt/exim INSTALL_ARG=-n install" and see ": Installing default configuration in /opt/exim/etc/configure : because there is no existing configuration file." So far, so good. "make DESTDIR=/opt/exim install" /opt/exim/etc/configure exists. If I now try a "./exim -bV" in /opt/exim/bin I get "2006-07-04 16:38:45 non-existent configuration file(s): /etc/configure" Surprise, surprise. Okay, let's try it the other way: "CONFIGURE_FILE=/opt/exim/etc/configure" Now the file is installed in /etc/opt/exim/opt/exim/etc/configure, but exim looks for /opt/exim/etc/configure I can copy that file around, but which of the two variations should I use, so that Exim finds everything it needs (spool, logs etc) where it expects it?
