clean up directory structure for prefix installation

[cmsj]

I just noticed that I have an m68k-amigaos inside my /opt/m68k-amigaos directory. It seems to have a fairly small number of files (ar, as, nm, ld and a few other binaries, plus the os-includes and libnix/clib2 directories).

I'm mildly sure this is wrong, but I wanted to check before I start digging into the build script.

This is perfectly ok. For that matter the toolchain installation should have not messed with any prefix structure (including /usr or /opt/local), but that's not true as for now. What should be done then? Here is a list:

• move $PREFIX/doc to $PREFIX/$TARGET/doc,
• prevent binutils from installing files into $PREFIX/include and $PREFIX/lib,
• move $PREFIX/man into $PREFIX/share/man
• move $PREFIX/{os,vbcc}-{include,lib} into $PREFIX/$TARGET.
• move $PREFIX/etc/vc.config into $PREFIX/$TARGET ?

With that being done I'm pretty confident the toolchain would be ready for hassle free inclusion into many Mac / Linux package systems.

Obviously moving the files around isn't enough. Paths are embedded into many binaries and they need to be patched and thoroughly tested to make sure nothing's got broken. That isn't particularly difficult but is time consuming. Is that worth the effort? In long term the answer is yes. Unfortunately I'm quite busy now with some other projects. I'd appreciate if you could help me a bit.

Sorry, I'm slightly confused - what are your meanings for $PREFIX and $TARGET there? In terms of the toolchain-m68k script, the two are equivalent, right? The user specifies --prefix=/opt/m68k-amigaos and internally the script refers to that as {target}, if I am reading it correctly?

[cahirwpz]

When I referred to $PREFIX I meant a configure script variable that is set based on argument to --prefix option, same for $TARGET. I should probably change {target} variable to {prefix} to avoid confusion.

$PREFIX is any directory you want to install software into (as with configure). $TARGET is platform name, in our case m68k-amigaos.

I cleaned up installation directory structure in prefix_cleanup branch and it looks like this:
