./configure --prefix not working #18

Open dramb-lys opened 8 years ago

Install location uses /usr/lib/ regardless.

TingPing commented 8 years ago

If hexchat is installed it uses the correct install location for that hexchat install, I could add a flag to ignore that though.

dramb-lys commented 8 years ago

It's nice to let --prefix override the default location. Not a major issue though.

fred0r commented 8 years ago

It would be really nice if the '--prefix' will be supported.

TingPing commented 8 years ago

Respecting --prefix just means users can install it into the wrong directory.

fred0r commented 8 years ago

I personally would use it to install the otr-module to $HOME : --prefix=$HOME So i wouldnt need the root-acc for the installation.

TingPing commented 8 years ago

@fred0r Well that would never work anyway, hexchat doesn't support local prefixes directly. So one option is to just add something like make local-install that installs directly into ~/.config/hexchat/addons which will just be a hardcoded path.

TingPing commented 8 years ago

Or something like --hexchatlibdir=~/.config/hexchat/addons.

Any Option to build to a usable local installation would be nice to have.
