That's exactly what I'm doing on my Linux box.
I have mono in /opt/mono/{bin,lib}, nant in /opt/nant/{bin,doc} and nant
shell script in "/usr/local/bin". The last part is my own idea and I don't
think we should do it in general.
We could have
$ ./configure --prefix=/opt/nant --with-mono=/opt/mono
(this would write the appropriate makefile containing paths: /opt/mono and
/opt/nant + a shell script:
------
#!/bin/sh
export PATH=/opt/mono/bin:$PATH
exec /opt/mono/bin/mono /opt/nant/bin/NAnt.exe $*
-------
$ make (this would rebuild nant using the appropriate mono)
# make install (this would copy *.exe, *.dll, *.html + shell script to the
appropriate directories under /opt/nant)
I'm not a unix guru, but this looks like a traditional way of doing Linux
installs today. I wouldn't use autoconf for this purpose. Is it acceptable?
