Well, automake (not autoconf), but yes. > Which means almost all packages used by LFS and BLFS should be able to > use it. All except the ones that don't believe in automake for whatever reason. ;-) (Note that there are packages that use autoconf without automake -- IIRC, WineX CVS used to do this, and it might do it still, so it's at least one. These packages may or may not support DESTDIR on their own. automake packages support it because automake creates the Makefile.in's install: pseudo-rule, and that pseudo-rule supports DESTDIR.)
