According to the README file:
"The configure script can take optional parameters specifying settings.
For example, you you want the install directory to be "/usr/local/bin""
So this should work:
er...@rook:~/Mahaigaina/scid$ ./configure BINDIR=/usr/games
When compiling other programs, if you use the --prefix option in
configure you can specify the directory where the program is to be
installed. But it doesn't seem to work here.
Best,
Mikel
