Var DESTDIR should be used from command line #20

It would be nice if DESTDIR=somedir make install would use the DESTDIR var. Currently it has to be manually edited in the Makefile.

Thanks for the reminder. It will be updated shortly.

On the subject of Makefile. This morning, I came across your issue report on htop about compiling with ncurses/ncursesw under different names with different OS/distributions. With zero experience about autoconf Makefiles, I can't really understand the post...

Would you mind me asking for some guidance, or helpful link/reference?

@Titor8115 thanks! I'm no expert on Makefiles either but I can tell when something doesn't work because I get an error :). The htop issue was specific to MacOS homebrew at that time. It's no longer an issue as you can see in brew edit htop - htop now requires ncurses provided by homebrew, depends_on "ncurses".
