Hi, I've been working with autoconf for some time now and haven't figured out the answer to a minor problem I've been having. When I do a ./configure && make on my project (cgdb.sf.net), it builds the program CGDB that I want to install, and it also builds several other programs I use for debugging purposes. I only want "cgdb" to get installed, not the other programs. For this reason I use the rule, noinst_bin_PROGRAMS = kui_driver noinst_bindir = $(top_builddir)/progs So, when I do make install, it puts the various other programs into $(top_builddir)/progs like it's supposed to. However, when I do make DESTDIR=/tmp/foo install I get, make[4]: Entering directory `/home/bob/cvs/cgdb/cgdb.rl/objdir/various/adt/src' make[4]: Nothing to be done for `install-exec-am'. /bin/sh ../../../../cgdb/config/mkinstalldirs /tmp/foo../../../progs mkdir -p -- /tmp/foo../../../progs mkdir: cannot create directory `/tmp/foo../../../progs': Permission denied make[4]: *** [install-noinst_binPROGRAMS] Error 1 What am I doing wrong? I realize this may be a simple problem, hoever, I can not figure it out. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
