Subject: Bug: Install from .tar.xz fails without write permission on /usr/local/share/man/man3
Date: Thu, 31 May 2018 18:30:18 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <d464115b7c2ee5f9084ae9bd33cebea1@posteo.de> (raw)
Hi,
I was trying to build git 2.9.5 as a normal user, as I have no root
access on a cluster with outdated software.
The build fails, unless I change the PREFIX=/usr/local line in
per/perl.mak:80 to a folder where I have write permission.
Apparently, perl.mak does not honour the --prefix= setting of
./configure.
Is it possible to change perl.mak to honor the PREFIX?
Best,
Mo
Steps to reproduce:
wget
https://mirrors.edge.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/git-2.9.5.tar.xz
tar xf git-2.9.5.tar.xz
cd git-2.9.5
./configure --prefix=$HOME/.usr
make
make install # fails
Output (last lines):
install -d -m 755 '/qg-10/data/AGR-QG/lell/.usr/share/locale'
(cd po/build/locale && gtar cf - .) | \
(cd '/qg-10/data/AGR-QG/lell/.usr/share/locale' && umask 022 && gtar xof
-)
