Destdir Help

Some things don't have the "DESTDIR=" option when "make install"ing them. Is there a good way to install the libs to a directory, or do you just have to go through your directories looking for the files?

If you make your IPKs install into /usr/local (as opposed to /usr) then you can use the "mount --bind trick" - check this:

Sometimes it's not possible to use this method. In these cases I resort to editing the Makefile, finding the section(s) which deal with the install and prefix the destinations with $DESTDIR, then I could do

Code: [Select]

DESTDIR="/path/to/temp/ipk/directory" make install
