allow Makefile to set PREFIX
vtorri opened this issue · comments
Hello
in Makefile, i propose to allow the user to set PREFIX when compiling:
PREFIX?=/use/local
@michaelforney do you agree ?
?= is not allowed in posix make (see the .POSIX declaration)
overriding the PREFIX already works, if you either do make PREFIX= .., or pass -e (for environment vars) to make if using a gnu make or similar
I tried in OpenIndiana and it failed I retry and It works. I guess there was a typo in my first make command
thank you
