I think so. Autotools let you fine tune the location of those dirs.
Here is an excerpt from "configure --help":
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Installation directories:
--prefix=PREFIX install architecture-independent files in PREFIX
[/usr/local]
--exec-prefix=EPREFIX install architecture-dependent files in EPREFIX
[PREFIX]
By default, `make install' will install all the files in
`/usr/local/bin', `/usr/local/lib' etc. You can specify
an installation prefix other than `/usr/local' using `--prefix',
for instance `--prefix=$HOME'.
For better control, use the options below.
Fine tuning of the installation directories:
--bindir=DIR user executables [EPREFIX/bin]
--sbindir=DIR system admin executables [EPREFIX/sbin]
--libexecdir=DIR program executables [EPREFIX/libexec]
--datadir=DIR read-only architecture-independent data [PREFIX/share]
--sysconfdir=DIR read-only single-machine data [PREFIX/etc]
--sharedstatedir=DIR modifiable architecture-independent data [PREFIX/com]
--localstatedir=DIR modifiable single-machine data [PREFIX/var]
--libdir=DIR object code libraries [EPREFIX/lib]
--includedir=DIR C header files [PREFIX/include]
--oldincludedir=DIR C header files for non-gcc [/usr/include]
--infodir=DIR info documentation [PREFIX/info]
--mandir=DIR man documentation [PREFIX/man]
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
The only options meaningful to LyX are --bindir, --datadir, --mandir, and
perhaps --libdir. Then, depending on packaging, configure does this:
case $lyx_use_packaging in
macosx)
cat >>confdefs.h <<\_ACEOF
#define USE_MACOSX_PACKAGING 1
_ACEOF
PACKAGE=LyX${version_suffix}
default_prefix="/Applications/${PACKAGE}.app"
bindir='${prefix}/Contents/MacOS'
libdir='${prefix}/Contents/Resources'
datadir='${prefix}/Contents/Resources'
pkgdatadir='${datadir}'
mandir='${datadir}/man' ;;
windows)
cat >>confdefs.h <<\_ACEOF
#define USE_WINDOWS_PACKAGING 1
_ACEOF
PACKAGE=LyX${version_suffix}
default_prefix="C:/Program Files/${PACKAGE}"
bindir='${prefix}/bin'
libdir='${prefix}/Resources'
datadir='${prefix}/Resources'
pkgdatadir='${datadir}'
mandir='${prefix}/Resources/man' ;;
posix)
cat >>confdefs.h <<\_ACEOF
#define USE_POSIX_PACKAGING 1
_ACEOF
PACKAGE=lyx${version_suffix}
program_suffix=$version_suffix
pkgdatadir='${datadir}/${PACKAGE}'
default_prefix=$ac_default_prefix ;;
*)
lyx_error_txt="$lyx_error_txt
** Unknown packaging type $lyx_use_packaging
"
lyx_error=yes ;;
esac
So, if I am not mistaken, those options are fully respected only with
posix packaging.
