add your own to the makefile. some makefiles use the variable root_prefix, some have different names for what is functionally the same as DESTDIR. You can usually just add DESTDIR to the rules in the install target. DESTDIR does not need to explicitly defined in the makefile. (should not be?) The variable will take on any value specified in the command line and remain empty otherwise, provided it isn't defined in the environment. ~rick -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
