* [linux-lvm] 0.9.1-beta4 install bug

tried beta4 since the LVM_DIR_PREFIX replacement may have been
fixed.  

	./configure --prefix=/opt/lvm/0.9.1 

leaves only the man pages in the prefix dir, exec's still go
to /sbin.  this is bad news since it will blow off the entire
LVM installation the next time i test an install.  

checking ./configure --help:

<snip>

Directory and file names:
  --prefix=PREFIX         install architecture-independent files in
PREFIX
                          [/usr]
  --exec-prefix=EPREFIX   install architecture-dependent files in
EPREFIX
                          [same as prefix]
  --bindir=DIR            user executables in DIR [EPREFIX/bin]
  --sbindir=DIR           system admin executables in DIR [EPREFIX/sbin]
  --libexecdir=DIR        program executables in DIR [EPREFIX/libexec]
  --datadir=DIR           read-only architecture-independent data in DIR
                          [PREFIX/share]
  --sysconfdir=DIR        read-only single-machine data in DIR
[PREFIX/etc]
  --sharedstatedir=DIR    modifiable architecture-independent data in
DIR
                          [PREFIX/com]
  --localstatedir=DIR     modifiable single-machine data in DIR
[PREFIX/var]
  --libdir=DIR            object code libraries in DIR [EPREFIX/lib]
  --includedir=DIR        C header files in DIR [PREFIX/include]
  --oldincludedir=DIR     C header files for non-gcc in DIR
[/usr/include]
  --infodir=DIR           info documentation in DIR [PREFIX/info]
  --mandir=DIR            man documentation in DIR [PREFIX/man]
  --srcdir=DIR            find the sources in DIR [configure dir or ..]
  --program-prefix=PREFIX prepend PREFIX to installed program names
  --program-suffix=SUFFIX append SUFFIX to installed program names
  --program-transform-name=PROGRAM
                          run sed PROGRAM on installed program names

<snip>


so, prefix should set eprefix & friends which should leave the 
binaries in /opt/lvm/0.9.1/sbin, etc.

any chance this could be fixed for the next beta?

and/or was the LVM_DIR_PREFIX vs. hard-coded "/dev" entrys fixed
in this one?

thanx.

You have to set --exec-prefix either - --prefix does _not_ modify
--exec-prefix as far as i can see.

if you want to change the behaviour do this
and rerun autoconf
(NOTE exec_prefix should be set to "", not "/", because it is used as in
sbindir=${exec_prefix}/sbin )

configure.in now looks like:

                          statically.  Default is dynamic linking], 
STATIC_LINK=$enableval, STATIC_LINK=no)

if [[ "x$exec_prefix" = xNONE -a "x$prefix" = xNONE ]];
 then  exec_prefix="";
fi;

make distclean;
./configure --prefix=/opt/lvm/0.91 --enable-jobs=2;
make all install fails w/ errors updating /lib, /sbin, etc.

and /opt/lvm/0.91 contains only the man directory.

still seems stuck on installing in /sbin

i requote myself:

and rerun autoconf

 installing into a directory that
i own w/ mods 755:

	drwxr-xr-x   2 lembark  bin          4096 Feb 11 16:09
/opt/lvm/0.91//sbin

looks like it's gone out of its way to set the directory
mods since /opt is suid bin and so is /opt/lvm/0.91:

drwxrwsr-x   5 lembark  bin          4096 Feb 11 16:09 /opt/lvm/0.91

everything got put in the proper place but the ownership
and mods are off (obviously i can fix these by hand):

any reason that the install has to set the ownership & mods?
i don't remember anything in the code that explicitly checks
file ownership (vs euid of proc execing them), but may have
missed something.

Not yet.  I changed this in a few places in the code, but haven't
submitted a patch yet.

Anywho, thanks for that patch; it's exactly what I was thinking would fix
Steven's problem.

THE LESSER-KNOWN PROGRAMMING LANGUAGES #16:
C- This language was named for the grade received by its creator when he
submitted it as a class project in a graduate programming class.  C- is
best described as a "low-level" programming language.  In fact, the
language generally requires more C- statements than machine-code statements
to execute a given task.  In this respect, it is very similar to COBOL.
