I am trying to make a compiled slackware package for R and I am stuck on one point.
Is there a variable I can set on the "make install" step to cause the R files to be copied into a subdirectory, instead of being copied into the prefix path specified in "./configure --prefix=/usr" anchored at root? With a lot of packages that use autoconf, the variable DESTDIR serves that purpose. For example, with gawk, this sequence: mkdir /tmp/gawk-package ./configure --prefix=/usr make make install DESTDIR=/tmp/gawk-package would result in the compiled and distribution files being copied to /tmp/gawk-package/usr, where they could be processed by a distribution's package creation tools (makepkg, in the case of slackware). Is there a variable in the R configure system that serves this purpose?
