At first I tried DESTDIR which is the recommended method, but it seems this
variable is not used anywhere in the make files (as you mentioned).
With configure I am using a crazy hack where I do
./configure --prefix=/home/martin/rpmbuild/BUILDROOT/usr/local
and then after the code has been make installed I sed
"s#/home/martin/rpmbuild/BUILDROOT##g"
through the entire code base, effectively change the path correctly to
/usr/local :P
make install DESTDIR=(...) OCAMLFIND_DESTDIR=(...) prefix=(...)
I didn't know about the prefix=(...), will try this tonight :)
