Installation Names

==================
|

By default, 'make install' will install into '/usr/local/bin',

'/usr/local/man', etc.; that is, the "installation prefix" defaults to
|
||||
'/usr/local'. You can specify an installation prefix other than
|
||||
'/usr/local' by giving 'configure' the option '--prefix=PATH', or by
|
||||
specifying a value for the 'prefix' 'make' variable when running 'make

install' (e.g., 'make install prefix=PATH'). The 'prefix' variable

provides a default for 'exec_prefix' and other variables used when

By default, ‘make install’ will install into ‘/usr/local/bin’,

provides a default for ‘exec_prefix’ and other variables used when
|
||||
installing Bash.
|
||||
|
||||
You can specify separate installation prefixes for architecture-specific
|
||||
files and architecture-independent files. If you give 'configure' the

option '--exec-prefix=PATH', 'make install' will use PATH as the prefix

files and architecture-independent files. If you give ‘configure’ the

for installing programs and libraries. Documentation and other data

files will still use the regular prefix.

If you would like to change the installation locations for a single run,
