Dear Git developers, I've looked around the online forums and also asked this question on Stackoverflow, but have not gotten an answer. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/33901216/is-it-possible-to-build-git-such-that-the-install-directory-and-the-deployment Here is the question, copied below for your convenience: """ I am attempting to build git from source, and I would like make install to put the binaries into a directory called dist in my source directory, so I use the following configure line. ./configure --prefix=`pwd`/dist Unfortunately, this also causes the build output to assume that this is the final install location for git, and therefore hardcode the path into various scripts and binaries such as libexec/git-core/git-difftool. Is there a way to specify during either configure or make that I want a different path for actual deployment, such as /usr/bin/local, but still have make install go into the directory pwd/dist?
