Hello,
I have the following challenge; install something in a directory /srv (for
apache). I use the following code for that:
Makefile.am
-----------------
wsadmindir = $(DESTDIR)/srv/www/html/server/admin
ADDRESS_BOOK_ENTRIES = server/admin/addressbook/create_vcard.php \
server/admin/addressbook/head.php \
server/admin/addressbook/index.php
wsaddressbookdir = $(wsadmindir)/addressbook
wsaddressbook_DATA = $(ADDRESS_BOOK_ENTRIES)
EXTRA_DIST += $(ADDRESS_BOOK_ENTRIES)
Now when I run the autotools the result is the following:
autoreconf -f -i
./configure
make
make distcheck
/bin/sh ../mkinstalldirs /srv/www/html/server/admin/addressbook
mkdir -p -- /srv/www/html/server/admin/addressbook
mkdir: cannot create directory `/srv/www/html': Permission denied
make[3]: *** [install-wsaddressbookDATA] Error 1
And if I continue with 'make DESTDIR=$PWD/blah install' the result is:
# find blah -type f
blah/tmp/server.tmp/blah/srv/www/html/server/admin/addressbook/index.php
blah/tmp/server.tmp/blah/srv/www/html/server/admin/addressbook/head.php
blah/tmp/server.tmp/blah/srv/www/html/server/admin/addressbook/create_vcard.php
blah/usr/etc/server/httpd.conf.template
blah/usr/etc/server/server_sslcert.sh
blah/usr/etc/server/cyrus.conf.template
It seems to be that I need a variable to determine "/" with respect to DESTDIR
and make's argument. Is such variable present. I think so as variables such
as prefix, localstatedir, etc are working correctly.
