Makefile: permit non-default DESTDIR and PREFIX #40

Closed cxw42 closed 4 years ago

cxw42 commented 4 years ago

Make the assignments to DESTDIR and PREFIX conditional. This permits installing to a particular directory using, e.g., make install PREFIX=/usr/local.

Thanks for considering this PR!

Uh.. as far as I can tell, this will have no effect.

Setting variables on the command line already overrides settings in the Makefile. Using '?=' just means that we won't override settings earlier in the Makefile itself.

Almost 20 years with make and I didn't know that --- sorry for the bother, and thanks for letting me know!
