I also doubt about it after sleep, so I check it again: ## gettext is installed in non-standard location on Mac $ export CFLAGS=-I/usr/local/include; export LDFLAGS=-L/usr/local/lib $ make config $ ./configure --prefix=/opt/git/v1.8.2 $ make && sudo make install ## already symlink /opt/git/v1.8.2/bin/* to /usr/local/bin/ $ git --html-path /opt/git/v1.8.2/ $ git help -w help fatal: '/opt/git/v1.8.2/': not a documentation directory. >> And the worst part is that having to know that the file needs to >> export docdir and PACKAGE_TARNAME feels to me that we are tying >> ourselves to too much detail in the internal implementation detail >> of versions of autoconf we happen to have for testing this change. I am not familiar with autoconf. After clone autoconf and check, I cannot find a neat way to change "htmldir" default location to use ${datarootdir} (just like mandir). In file "lib/autoconf/general.m4", there are: AC_SUBST([docdir], [m4_ifset([AC_PACKAGE_TARNAME], ['${datarootdir}/doc/${PACKAGE_TARNAME}'], ['${datarootdir}/doc/${PACKAGE}'])])dnl ... AC_SUBST([htmldir], ['${docdir}'])dnl ... AC_SUBST([pdfdir], ['${docdir}'])dnl ... AC_SUBST([mandir], ['${datarootdir}/man'])dnl > This still stands.
