Wouldn't it be more logical? He, the --exec-prefix="" thing works fine for udev, because it has no binaries in /usr. :) That's not a generally useful approach for others. > I guess, what I'm saying > is that it would be useful if no options was needed for configure for > the default use (building packages and hacking on an udev version that > overwrites package supplied files). That we could do today already with setting the defaults to --prefix=/usr and --exec-prefix=. > So in that case you'd default > --slibdir to /lib, --sbindir to /sbin and --prefix to /usr. Sure, sounds fine to have a set of common options to support installing stuff in the rootfs. > I don't know, maybe it's fine as is. Yeah, we will see. Would be nice to have a common way to do it. Let me know how the glib stuff works out. Other things with "no options needed" are: the multilib lib/lib64 problem, the split of development files in stuff for /usr and the rootfs, support to compute relative symlinks from /usr/lib/libfoo.so -> ../../lib/libfoo.so.0.0.0. All that would be nice, so we can just install stuff from the source tree, without depending on spec file scripts.
