We might be able to do it with: --prefix=/ --exec-prefix=/usr/local --sysconfdir=/etc but that won't work because that also affects datarootdir, includedir, localstatedir, and sharedstatedir. I need sysconfdir to be $DESTDIR/etc and all of the others to use $DESTDIR/usr/local/XXX . >> I'm thinking about using ntpconfdir for this, but how to make that work >> the way the other paths do hasn't been obvious to me from casual study. > > I don't see the point of adding a non-standard variable when the > standard one already works as advertised. If they work as advertised then what is advertised is not what I need in this case.
