The Makefile sets LIBTOOL := bindir=$(bindir) $(SHELL) $(top_builddir)/libtool Then: Test for the existance of bindir in the libtool script, if it doesn't exist set it to ../bin if it does exist the Makefile has passed it to libtool via an environment variable. This works for `make install bindir=/alternatelocation". Earnie. _______________________________________________ Libtool mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/libtool
