It should be possible to do a make like this: nmake prefix=whatever ... At one point that worked. I recently tried it with nmake install, and that did the right thing. The files that are created from .in files will have the wrong values in them if you do the prefix trick only at install time. The only problem that remains is: > Also, it seems that > > CLIENTS_PREFIX > MONETDB4_PREFIX > MONETDB5_PREFIX > > are required, but HowToStart-SQL-Win32.txt only mentions MONETDB_PREFIX. You're right. The documentation is behind. Also, it might be good if these variables could use some sort of default that is derived from a single value so that you don't need to set them all. > And a related question: Is it possible to use a build directory outside of > the source tree (under Win32)? That should be possible using the prefix trick above. -- Sjoerd Mullender
