Binaries & zlibs path is hardcoded in the source #6

Open D4N opened 9 years ago

I am currently trying to package JaroMail for Fedora & EL and I came across the issue that the install script tries to install the binaries and the zlibs to /usr/local/. As I saw in the install script for Linux, it is already planned to separate the installation path into JARO_SHARE and JARO_LIBEXEC. I tried to do that in my packaging attempt, but unfortunately this results in a lot of problems, as the path of the binaries and the zlibs is hardcoded in the source.

However, if I am not totally mistaken, this should not be too hard, as one needs only to change the paths in jaro and the zlibs to the appropriate values.

I would volunteer to try this and submit a pull request, if this is something that should be in the main repository.

dear @D4N please go ahead! this is long overdue and indeed the SHARE/LIBEXEC envs are there as a start for it. I will have a look at the pull request and eventually help with it if needed.
