[Macario, Gianpaolo] Thanks for your reply.
Unfortunately it looks to me that the `--prefix=xxx` option provided to
configure will be hardcoded to the path returned by 'git --exec-path', and I do
not see how this may actually be made dependent on the directory where the
binary tarball will be extracted.
How should I configure/make git to have `<install_path>/bin/git --exec-path`
return a path which depends on `<install_path>` rather than what provided to
`./configure` ?
I tried the following
$ mkdir -p ~/tmp
$ cd ~/tmp
$ wget http://kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/git-2.3.5.tar.gz
$ tar -xvzf git-2.3.5.tar.gz
$ cd git-2.3.5
$ ./configure --prefix= \
--with-curl --with-openssl --without-tcltk \
CFLAGS="${CFLAGS} `pkg-config --static --libs libcurl`"
$ make
$ make DESTDIR=/var/tmp/gittt install
$ cd /var/tmp/gittt
$ tar -cvzf ~/git-install-2.3.5.tar.gz .
$ cd
$ rm -rf ~/tmp/git-2.3.5
$ rm -rf /var/tmp/gittt
then extracted the tarball
$ sudo mkdir -p /opt/tools
$ sudo chown $USER /opt/tools
$ cd /opt/tools
$ tar -xvzf ~/git-install-2.3.5.tar.gz
This is the result when executing
$ /opt/tools/bin/git --exec-path
/libexec/git-core
I wanted to have it return `/opt/tools/libexec/git-core` instead.
If I do not specify any `--prefix=xxx` when running `./configure`, this
defaults to `/usr/local` which is not good either.
Thanks in advance, and apologies if I am doing something stupid...
Gianpaolo
