Docs/Makefile mismatch for local installations #239

Closed billschereriii closed 8 months ago

billschereriii commented 10 months ago

There is a discrepancy between the project documentation (README.md) and the Makefile when it comes to performing a local installation. Where the docs suggest that one uses the PREFIX make variable to define a target directory, the Makefile, in the info target, points people to the DESTDIR make variable.

From what I can see (though I admit I didn't look too closely), either one will work. I assume both are supported to maintain backward compatibility.

Yeah - I noticed the redundant DESTDIR variable when I was adding code to check for absolute vs relative path. (I removed it - so now we use only PREFIX.)

Fix is in c9b83cf69681b5bca46bde213d2c8e2196395349

Closing this now. I think it was fixed some time back. Henry
