%build
./configure --prefix=/usr/local --sysconfdir="\${prefix}/share/nmh"
make
%install
make prefix=${RPM_BUILD_ROOT}/usr/local install
If you wanted sysconfdir to be somewhere else, you just set it:
%install
make prefix=${RPM_BUILD_ROOT}/usr/local \
sysconfdir=${RPM_BUILD_ROOT}/etc/nmh install
I don't believe that there are any permutations of chasing and
installing in differnt places that the GNU coding standards won't
allow. nmh does a fine job of adhering to them too.
My point is that DESTDIR just makes life easier. Presently, the
RedHat Linux spec file would look
make --prefix=${RPM_BUILD_ROOT}/usr \
--exec-prefix=${RPM_BUILD_ROOT}/usr \
--bindir=${RPM_BUILD_ROOT}/usr/bin \
--libdir=${RPM_BUILD_ROOT}/usr/lib/nmh \
--sysconfdir=${RPM_BUILD_ROOT}/etc/nmh \
--with-editor=${RPM_BUILD_ROOT}/bin/vi \
install
; with DESTDIR support
DESTDIR=$RPM_BUILD_ROOT make install
