Re: DESTDIR support

Hi,

Strange coincidence. I just tried that not 30 minutes ago and the same 
thing happenned.
I'm on RH8, custom kernel, which I have no choice about in this 
circumstance.
Here are my findings:

I set DESTDIR to /root/tmp
DESTDIR is used for the include directory, so we get 
/root/tmp/usr/local/include ....
However, as soon as we get to the libs, we get (just some selected 
output from the make install):

mkdir /root/tmp/usr/local/include/net-snmp/machine
/usr/bin/install -c -m 644 ./include/net-snmp/machine/generic.h 
/root/tmp/usr/local/include/net-snmp/machine/generic.h
installing generic.h in /root/tmp/usr/local/include/net-snmp/machine

-- up to here we still had DESTDIR, from now on we don't

making installlibs in /root/net-snmp-5.4/snmplib
make[1]: Entering directory `/root/net-snmp-5.4/snmplib'
/usr/bin/install -c .libs/libnetsnmp.so.15.0.0 
/usr/local/lib/libnetsnmp.so.15.0.0
(cd /usr/local/lib && { ln -s -f libnetsnmp.so.15.0.0 libnetsnmp.so.15 
|| { rm -f libnetsnmp.so.15 && ln -s libnetsnmp.so.15.0.0 
libnetsnmp.so.15; }; })
(cd /usr/local/lib && { ln -s -f libnetsnmp.so.15.0.0 libnetsnmp.so || { 
rm -f libnetsnmp.so && ln -s libnetsnmp.so.15.0.0 libnetsnmp.so; }; })
/usr/bin/install -c .libs/libnetsnmp.lai /usr/local/lib/libnetsnmp.la
/usr/bin/install -c .libs/libnetsnmp.a /usr/local/lib/libnetsnmp.a
chmod 644 /usr/local/lib/libnetsnmp.a
ranlib /usr/local/lib/libnetsnmp.a
PATH="$PATH:/sbin" ldconfig -n /usr/local/lib

from then on, the DESTDIR is ignored.
