You are right for the default case, but the current code works correctly for prefix=/usr/local, for example. Also, I don't like using no hard-coded values for the secondary paths like "mandir" and "bindir". What about this instead? diff --git a/Makefile.inc b/Makefile.inc index a20e2ce..6b45430 100644 --- a/Makefile.inc +++ b/Makefile.inc @@ -36,7 +36,7 @@ prefix := # Prefix for binaries exec_prefix := $(prefix) # Prefix for non-essential libraries (libdmmp) -usr_prefix := $(prefix) +usr_prefix := $(if $(prefix),$(prefix),/usr) # Prefix for configfuration files (multipath.conf) etc_prefix := $(prefix) # Where to install systemd-related files. systemd is usually installed under /usr This will put the man pages under /usr/man is prefix is empty (the default case) and under $(prefix)/man otherwise (i.e. /usr/man if prefix=/usr). Thanks, Martin
