RE: Choose destination directory at installation

I do this all of the time to handle package building on Solaris.
Basically, you install into a temporary directory and create your
package off of that.  Here's what I use:

make install prefix=${TMP}/${prefix} exec_prefix=${TMP}${prefix}

In my case, the value of $prefix is the same prefix that was passed into
configure.  So, your question about changing paths doesn't really apply
to my situation.

But I can't think of any paths that get hardcoded in the programs
anywhere.  Net-SNMP doesn't use a .pc file, and I'm not sure what else
there might be that would need to be fixed.  You'll have to set your
LD_LIBRARY_PATH, PATH, and MANPATH appropriately if you chose some
whacky install dir, but that's whether it's done at configure or install
time.

Thanks for the answer Dave and Thomas!

Is it also "hard-coded" in binaries and libraries??? Or just in
"readable" text files in case I could write a script to identify and
replace it.
Does it mean that everytime we want to change to install directory, we
have again to "configure, make and make install"???
