Isn't DESTDIR obsolete, if the script understands prefix? regards nico
Not necessarily. Many source Packages (read: upstream source) understand prefix, but only take that into account for binaries (and use a different one for data files or manpages). Furthermore, prefix is often used to modify default file locations used in the binary (i.e. where to expect the config file or data files). DESTDIR is explicitly _only_ used in the install target (and sometimes in the uninstall target) but has no influence on the pathes compiled into the installed files while prefix has such an influence.
