Dear Baurzhan, thank you for the replie, "make DESTDIR=`pwd` install" works fine, but i´d like to omit the naming of the installpath in all commands. I´d prefer setting it within the configure.in or Makefile.am.

I use the following command: make DESTDIR=`pwd` install This is useful, e.g., while creating a package. However, this installs the files into ./usr/bin, etc. Does this suit your needs? I don't know how to do that from configure.in. With kind regards, Baurzhan. _______________________________________________ Autoconf mailing list Autoconf@xxxxxxx http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/autoconf _______________________________________________ Autoconf mailing list Autoconf@xxxxxxx http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/autoconf
