I do not agree with Eriks remark that "this sounds like a mess" : it is a
commonly used method to ensure that EVERYTHING that belongs to a certain
packet ends up in the same tree without cluttering anything else and can
thus be easily removed without having to rely on an UN-install script.
It also makes it possible to install everything as a NON-root user by
giving the directory away prior to running install. Everything that fails
to install MUST be illegal then (e.g. /etc or /lib ) ;-)
The tree I see above is simply the result of something like :
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/FlightGear-0.9.8 --with-plib=/opt/plib \
--with-simgear=/opt/simgear ......
and there is nothing wrong with that IMO.
Bye,
Kees Lemmens.
