I guess the list is the following: --mandir=PATH install man pages in PATH --datadir=PATH install firmware in PATH --docdir=PATH install documentation in PATH --bindir=PATH install binaries in PATH --sysconfdir=PATH install config in PATH/qemu http://www.gnu.org/prep/standards/html_node/Configuration.html says that it should also handle the following list: --bindir --sbindir --libexecdir --sysconfdir --sharedstatedir --localstatedir --libdir --includedir --oldincludedir --datarootdir --datadir --infodir --localedir --mandir --docdir --htmldir --dvidir --pdfdir --psdir Do we need anything of these? -- Thanks. -- Max
