To Andrew and Orion: One of my testers for ephcom is David Howells who works as a developer for RedHat. He found that rpm's for ephcom that he implemented could not be built without using DESTDIR for all install(CODE logic in the ephcom build system. For example ephcom's doc/CMakeLists.txt file now has this code fragment (which was originally copied without DESTDIR from doc/CMakeLists.txt in PLplot).
doc/CMakeLists.txt: install(CODE "message(STATUS \"Installing: ${DOC_DIR}/doxygen/html tree\")\nexecute_process(COMMAND ${CMAKE_COMMAND} -E copy_directory ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/doxygen/html ${DESTDIR}${CMAKE_INSTALL_DOCDIR}/doxygen/html)") Do you agree that DESTDIR should also be used in the equivalent PLplot file? How have you guys been getting around this potential issue for Debian and Fedora packaging of PLplot? Alan __________________________ Alan W.
