Re: How to do a local install?

Hello Walter (via the list, for future readers' reference),

I think that I'm succeeding in doing what you want.

I did it with configure options, which I keep in a very small shell script:

-----
./configure --prefix=/Users/jamescone/buildTrees --enable-ssl
--enable-dependency-tracking
-----

I also have a very small shell script for setting the build environment:

--------
export CFLAGS="-I/opt/local/include -g"
export CXXFLAGS="$CFLAGS -g"

export LDFLAGS="-L/opt/local/lib -g"

export PS1='$(echo $PWD\$\  | sed -e "
s#.*versions/##
s#/dillo-jfw01/#:#
")'
--------

Related to the PS1 bit, I have a christmas tree of versions, to try to
keep a variety of partially-done patches separate.  Somewhere in my
path, there is a /versions/ subdirectory, and it shows me the
subdirectory inside that, and the path inside the hg checkout.  I
started doing that because I was making too many mistakes, doing
things to the wrong subtree.

Regards,
James.
