Provide a simple way to test finalterm without root privileges #285

Closed genodeftest closed 10 years ago

genodeftest commented 10 years ago

Hi I would like to run finalterm without needing to install it using root privileges. The problem is that the /build/ directory and its content created by make/cmake fails to run since it has hard-coded paths to /usr/local/… Some other software provides a 'make localinstall' target which installs to ~/.local/bin/ or to a local binary directory. Is that (easily) possible? It would be a nice feature.

Looking at the AUR package it seems that you can simply use "cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/whatever" and "make DESTDIR=/whatever install".

Thanks, that was easy and did the trick.
