Follow-up Comment #147, bug #54235 (project octave): You are referring to this section: "Specify the toplevel installation directory. This is the recommended way to install the tools into a directory other than the default. The toplevel installation directory defaults to /usr/local. "We highly recommend against dirname being the same or a subdirectory of objdir or vice versa. If specifying a directory beneath a user’s home directory tree, some shells will not expand dirname correctly if it contains the ‘~’ metacharacter; use $HOME instead." I did see that but I took it as not applying here since I did not specify any --prefix flag to ./configure. I thought they meant "don't dump the tar file in /usr/local/ and build there". I'm building in my home directory and they claim the default installation directory is /usr/local. Am I reading this wrong? If so, how should I be invoking configure? They don't give any examples. I simply called it with only --disable-Werror for options. _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?54235> _______________________________________________ Message sent via Savannah https://savannah.gnu.org/
