make install on non-standard directory

[charlie]

Hi!

I'm trying to build the latest cvs version of codeblocks. I ran:

1. ./configure --prefix=/home/karol/usr/codeblocks

2. make

and

3. make install

returns error:

make[4]: Entering directory `/mnt/suse/home/karol/var/cvs/codeblocks/src/sdk'
test -z "/home/karol/usr/codeblocks/lib" || mkdir -p -- "/home/karol/usr/codeblocks/lib"
/bin/sh ../../libtool --mode=install /usr/bin/install -c  'libcodeblocks.la' '/home/karol/usr/codeblocks/lib/libcodeblocks.la'
libtool: install: error: cannot install `libcodeblocks.la' to a directory not ending in /usr/local/lib

is it possible to install codeblocks in directory prefix other than /usr/local/?

You have already built codeblocks without specifying --prefix to configure (defaults to /usr/local).
Now you just re-ran configure with a new --prefix (and no compilation because it was already up-to-date) and expect it to work?

Anyway, I 've provided a custom target for this case.
Run "make clean-bins" and then "make". This will force relinking (only), taking into account the new prefix. "make install" should work afterwards...

OK. I ran "make clean-bin" and "make". After it "make install" worked fine. Thanks.
So I successfuly compiled CodeBlocks on gentoo,wxwidgets-2.6 and amd64 box.

Since you 're using gentoo, you might be interested in an ebuild floating around here (and tell us if it worked ok).
It's here.
