Before I even start, I DO have root access on my machine, which is the one I am using to build. I try not to use root though, for well-discussed/obvious reasons.
When I wrote my patch(es) for VWR-10579, I had a reference to a in-the-build-tree library location. This was incorrect, as is well discussed in the JIRA entry. The proper place is to put the compiled library in /usr/local/. But, having said that... What if I have some "custom" libraries (like we were dealing with in VWR-10579) and I either don't have root access, or I don't want to set up my script to have root access, to copy the custom library to /usr/local/? My situation is that I wrote a pair of scripts that manage (update.sh) updating, grabbing and/or compiling the dependencies, patching, and (build.sh) configuring/compiling the tree. The script "update.sh" actually goes and verifies that I have the latest NDOFDEV source, and compiles it. To get this to where it SHOULD be, I would have to either have my script elevate to root to copy the files over, or I would have to do so manually. Is there/can there be a "semi" proper location to put such that doesn't require root privs? I also understand that this would all be largely a moot point if I weren't compiling standalone... :P Ricky aka Cron Stardust
