When the user passes a relative path, we end up splitting the installation in multiple directories because it is relative to $CWD, which changes when we recurse into subdirectories. A common idiom I use is: ./configure --prefix=install ; make ; make install and that currently results in part of the installation inside prefix and part of it elsewhere: $ find . -type d -name 'install' ./src/install ./install Not biggy, but annoying. Let's use the path where the configure command was invoked as basedir, like other projects usually do.
