You mean
This target allows you to have git installed in one location,
and have symbolic links to all of the programs installed in
another location. For example, if git was installed to /opt/git
with
make prefix=/opt/git install
you can install symbolic links in /usr/local/bin with
make symlinkprefix=/usr/local prefix=/opt/git \
install-symlinks
Hmm. Why not install it with a proper package manager in the correct
place to begin with? Somehow I find so many symbolic links ugly.
Ciao,
Dscho
