My commands for building ledger (3.0) from git used to be:
$ git clone git://github.com/jwiegley/ledger.git
$ cd ledger
$ ./acprep pull
$ ./acprep config -- --prefix=/opt/ledger
$ make
$ make install
i. e. I passed the --prefix option to configure, because I wanted
the resulting ledger executable and all its accompanying support
files to live in /opt/ledger.
Now with a recent checkout that doesn't work anymore:
$ git clone git://github.com/jwiegley/ledger.git
$ cd ledger
$ ./acprep pull
$ ./acprep config -- --prefix=/opt/ledger
this last config step results in an
CMake Error: The source directory
"/home/reuleaux/tmp2/ledger/--prefix=/opt/ledger" does not exist.
OK, skimming ./acprep I see: ./acprep itself should accept a --prefix
option, so I try just
$ ./acprep config --prefix=/opt/ledger
(see the difference: without the "--" in between)
building, i. e. calling
$ make
in the next step, doesn't pose any problems, however when I try to
install, this --prefix option doesn't seem to have any effect
$ make install
...
CMake Error at src/cmake_install.cmake:36 (FILE):
file INSTALL cannot copy file "/home/reuleaux/tmp2/ledger/src/libledger.a"
to "/usr/local/lib/libledger.a".
well luckily I get this permission problem
(so my /usr/local/lib is not messed up),
but I the really I want my ledger files to be installed in /opt/ledger
rather than /usr/local/lib.
I guess this is due to the latest move to cmake, and I am sorry
if this has been asked before: I didn't follow the mail on this list
in detail recently.
however, any help is appreciated.
I should mention, that I am on Debian wheezy
(cmake version 2.8.8 should be fine)
