Closing this ticket.
Gotta love unexpected changes :) They don't seem related given the documented behaviors: * 'make install' installs the library and man pages * 'make install_sw' install the library only Then we have: * if neither --prefix nor --openssldir, then use /usr/local/ssl * If --openssldir and not --prefix, then use --openssldir I don't know what to expect if both --prefix and --openssldir because I don't use it. is --prefix actiling like $DESTDIR for make recipes? Maybe I need to ask, how do we install only the library into the directory of our choosing?
