Right, I'm getting there.. anyway, I use a configure script and do ./configure --with-datadir=/usr/lib in my rules file, (under commands to compile the package ). and have: $(MAKE) install prefix='pwd'/debian/tmp/usr (under commands to install the package)
but when I run dpkg-buildpackage, the script installs them in my real system, not in debian/tmp/usr, how do I solve this? (The configure script must have the real data dir names as it is hardcoded in the programs, so I can't fo --with-datadir='pwd'/debian/tmp/usr/lib) -- John Travers "Sometimes I think the surest sign that intelligent life exists elsewhere in the universe is that none of it has tried to contact us!"
