The following issue has been CLOSED ====================================================================== http://bugs.bacula.org/view.php?id=1634 ====================================================================== Reported By: garethr Assigned To: ====================================================================== Project: bacula Issue ID: 1634 Category: configure/build process Reproducibility: always Severity: trivial Priority: normal Status: closed Resolution: not fixable Fixed in Version: ====================================================================== Date Submitted: 2010-09-05 10:21 BST Last Modified: 2010-09-21 13:23 BST ====================================================================== Summary: Wrong default install prefix used in ./configure. Description: Running ./configure does not use the default prefix claimed in the --help text. (Outputs below are trimmed.) $ ./configure --help shows the default prefix to be /usr/local: --prefix=PREFIX install architecture-independent files in PREFIX [/usr/local] But running ./configure without specifying the prefix does not use /usr/local: $ ./configure --enable-client-only Configuration on Sun Sep 5 10:14:56 BST 2010: Host: i386-apple-darwin9.8.0 -- osx 9.8.0 Bacula version: Bacula 5.0.3 (04 August 2010) Source code location: . Install binaries: /sbin Install libraries: /usr/lib Install config files: /etc/bacula Scripts directory: /etc/bacula Archive directory: /tmp Working directory: /var/bacula/working PID directory: /var/run Subsys directory: /var/run/subsys Man directory: ${datarootdir}/man Data directory: /usr/share Plugin directory: /usr/lib Only if manually specified does the prefix adopt the /usr/local value: $ ./configure --enable-client-only --prefix=/usr/local Configuration on Sun Sep 5 10:19:51 BST 2010: Host: i386-apple-darwin9.8.0 -- osx 9.8.0 Bacula version: Bacula 5.0.3 (04 August 2010) Source code location: .

If you know how, please send us a patch. Our documentation already mentions that we don't recommend using prefix unless you explicitly specify it. We have added a note to the doc that the default is not used.
