- Subject: Problem with installation
hi,
I need help to solve the following problems I'am facing.
Issue 1.
I need to install a kernel module "abc.o" under directory "/<user specified>/abc/xyz/mnp" directory.
"<user specified>" will be specified by the end user. To which I need to append the remaining path and install the module there.
trying to set the --prefix option is not working as for bin pgms or libraries are installed in the default "$(prefix)/<include, lib, bin>" directories.
I tried using "pkgconfig" stuff. Even that does not solve my problem totally as I have another header file that is to be installed in another path.
So what other option can I use to get my problem resolved.
Issue 2.
How do I append the default path to prefix path specified by the --prefix option
i.e
if --prefix /abc.
I need to have a prefix =/abc/<default dir>
So that my bin,lib etc are installed in following directories.
bin -> /abc/<default dir>/bin
lib -> /abc/<default dir>/lib
I can do this by specfying --prefix /abc/<default dir>.But I cannot do that.
Instead I want the same change to take place by specfying only "/abc"
with regards
