FYI, prefix=/usr/local and DESTDIR="" unless you set it. DESTDIR is used by all sane packages so that you can build something with --prefix=/usr (or whatever) and then install it to a different place with "make DESTDIR=/some/other/path install". This is extremely useful for package managers or just for testing. You can see what files would be installed before actually doing it and potentially overwriting files or having files go to the wrong locations. -- Dan -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
