Subject: [PATCH] perf: fix 'make help' message error
Date: Wed, 28 May 2014 09:18:00 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1401239880-12838-1-git-send-email-nasa4836@gmail.com> (raw)
Currently 'make help' message has such hint:
use "make prefix=<path> <install target>" to install to a particular
path like make prefix=/usr/local install install-doc
But this is misleading, when I specify "prefix=/usr/local", it has got no
respect at all. Instead, what takes effect is the "DESTDIR" variable.
In this case, "DESTDIR" has a empty value, so the actual install
directory falls back $HOME, not '/usr/local'.
Specifying "DESTDIR=/usr/local" will work as desired.
This patch fixes the help message.
