I've been reading ch12 in the automake manual, trying to make heads or tails of how to setup a custom install location as a default that can be overridden by the user.
Here's an example Makefile.am AM_CPPFLAGS = -I/usr/include/lua5.1 -I/usr/include/cairo -I/usr/include/directfb -I/usr/include/freetype2 lib_LTLIBRARIES = cairo.la cairo_la_LDFLAGS = -module -avoid-version cairo_la_LIBADD = -llua5.1 -L/usr/lib -lcairo -L/usr/lib -ldirectfb -L/usr/lib -lfreetype -L/usr/lib cairo_la_SOURCES = src/lcairo.c On linux (or ubuntu at the very least), modules get installed in /usr/share/lua/5.1. What do I need to do in order to have 'make install' put the resulting binary in that location? thanks, wes
