It is stow which allows to have separate locations for installation and run time, not the package. When I do: ./configure --prefix=3D/usr/local/stow/package make make install cd /usr/local/stow && stow package I have specified the location of the package at compile time, and stows allows to run this package in a different location (/usr/local/stow/package VS /usr/local). Another thing I don't understand is the GNU Emacs example. The documentation mention the "new" prefix, but never the old prefix. So I don't know which is the value of the old prefix, and which is the value of the new prefix. Finally, I don't understand how is it related to this thread. --f46d04182558f9959404babdcf8a Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Le 8 mars 2012 12:45, Adam Spiers <span dir=3D"ltr"><<a href=3D"mailto:s= [email protected]">[email protected]</a>></span> a =E9crit :<br><div = class=3D"gmail_quote"><blockquote class=3D"gmail_quote" style=3D"margin:0 0= 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"> <div class=3D"im">On Thu, Mar 8, 2012 at 2:01 AM, enclair <<a href=3D"ma= ilto:[email protected]">[email protected]</a>> wrote:<br> > Le 6 mars 2012 23:49, Adam Spiers <<a href=3D"mailto:stow@adamspier= s.org">[email protected]</a>> a =E9crit :<br> >><br> >> That should work fine, as per<br> >><br> >><br> >> =A0<a href=3D"http://www.gnu.org/software/stow/manual/html_node/Co= mpile_002dtime-vs-Install_002dtime.html#Compile_002dtime-vs-Install_002dtim= e" target=3D"_blank">http://www.gnu.org/software/stow/manual/html_node/Comp= ile_002dtime-vs-Install_002dtime.html#Compile_002dtime-vs-Install_002dtime<= /a><br> ><br> > I don't understand this part.<br> <br> </div>What don't you understand exactly?<br></blockquote><div><br>For i= nstance this sentence: "Some software packages allow you to specify, a= t compile-time, separate locations for installation and for run-time".<br>It is stow which allo= ws to have separate locations for installation and run time, not the packag= e.<br><br>When I do:<br>./configure --prefix=3D/usr/local/stow/package<br> make<br>make install<br>cd /usr/local/stow && stow package<br><br>I= have specified the location of the package at compile time, and stows allo= ws to run this package in a different location (/usr/local/stow/package VS = /usr/local).<br> <br>Another thing I don't understand is the GNU Emacs example.<br>The d= ocumentation mention the "new" prefix, but never the old prefix. = So I don't know which is the value of the old prefix, and which is the = value of the new prefix.<br> <br>Finally, I don't understand how is it related to this thread.<br><b= r> </div></div> --f46d04182558f9959404babdcf8a--
