#916 closed defect (fixed)

GRASS 7: make install fails with --prefix

Reported by: neteler Owned by: grass-dev@…
Priority: normal Milestone: 7.0.0
Component: Default Version: svn-trunk
Keywords: Cc: martin
CPU: Unspecified Platform: Linux

Description

When using

./configure --prefix=/some/path

compiling and then running

make install

a series of bugs appear which indicate that the --prefix path was not properly propagated. The problem might be that the Makefile no longer has an "install" target (guessing).

can you post the errors? I recently added pathname variable quoting to ./install-sh and may have got over zealous with it.

Does it happen with 6.5 or 6.4? (changes were backported)

I was trying to install grass7.0 through svn so I could do some testing and see some of the future development. I had no errors after typing in make, but when I make install I get the following:

so is that in GEM or, ... ?

Replying to neteler:

a series of bugs appear which indicate that the --prefix path was not properly propagated. The problem might be that the Makefile no longer has an "install" target (guessing).

The "install" target is in Install.make, which is "include"d from the top-level Makefile.

The problem is that r40491 removed the "BINDIR=${UNIX_BIN}" with the intention of just using $(UNIX_BIN) instead, but didn't follow through.

Fixed in r40882.

Thanks, the "make install fails with --prefix" problem appears to be solved.

Not sure about Casey's problem (maybe the same).
