Hello,
I tried building GSL as follows
$ ./configure
$ make prefix=/home/peter
after which
$ /bin/sh gsl-config --prefix
returns '/usr/local' a bit unexpectedly. I could, of course, set the
prefix at configure time instead and everything would work as expected,
but AFAICU the GNU Coding Standards requires that builders can set
installations directories at make time:
http://www.gnu.org/prep/standards/standards.html#Directory-Variables
The Autoconf manual discusses this further and suggests a solution, in
which make creates the script by "sed massaging" a script.in, rather
than through config.status:
http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/manual/autoconf.html#Installation-Directory-Variables
Please find attached a patch that implements the solution suggested by
the Autoconf people.
Thank you,
