configure --prefix default

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Usually, software built via `configure && make && make install` uses /usr/local
as default for the prefix. Is there any reason for util-linux not to use the same?
If someone relies on /usr/local as the default, then she overwrites the native
version of the files of his distribution.

BTW: `configure --help` states that it would use /usr as default prefix:

  --prefix=PREFIX         install architecture-independent files in PREFIX
                          [/usr]

... but in fact e.g. chcpu is installed as "/sbin/chcpu" (i.e. without /usr).
This doesn't sound correct.

Have a nice day,
Berny
