On the downside, this wouldn't work for > $(DESTDIR)$(VIDEODIR). the usual convention is PREFIX, which defaults to '/usr/local' and can be changed to eg '/usr/' or '/sw/vdr-1.6.0' etc. DESTDIR is completely independent -- it adds _another_ prefix; this is used eg when building packages. So "make install DESTDIR=/tmp/BLD-38746 PREFIX=/sw/vdr-1.6.0" means to assume the program will be installed in /sw/vdr-1.6.0 (and look for config files in /sw/vdr-1.6.0/etc/, binaries in /sw/vdr-1.6.0/bin/ etc), but to copy all the files to /tmp/BLD-38746/sw/vdr-1.6.0. This way you can build a package w/o disturbing the /sw/ tree and install using a package manager later. _______________________________________________ vdr mailing list vdr@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
