Makefile to not default directories

TheSergon13 · 06-03-2010, 06:59 PM

Hi

I'm compiling some applications in a pc, using:

Code:

./configure
make
make install

but I want to run the applications in another pc, so I have used the option --prefix=/some/directory/ when executing ./configure, so I could just copy this folder to the other pc. However, my programs now need to have libraries and shared files in the same location that I used with --prefix, instead of /lib, /usr, etc.

Is there any solution to avoid this? probably in make install command?

Thanks in advance,
Sérgio

if the configure command has the ability to make a static binary then you will not have to worry about library dependancies

Thank you exvor,
but this only will solve my problem about libraries, not with auxiliary files that my application needs

I want to make it think it will be installed on its default directories, but not on my pc.
