Re: [Bobs-devel] make scripts

[Joe Z. <jz...@at...>]

If I end my http server (because I'll get an error on 'chown apache' 
during 'make install' when run as a regular user) then run:

         ./configure --prefix=/home/joe/test

it installs without error into /home/joe/test.

I think the syntax for building the rpm would be './configure 
DESTDIR=/somewhere'.

I'll try building the rpm myself so I can see what's going on. The 
'bobs.spec' file I have is from Nov 29th. If you have a newer one, 
please send it to me. I plan to use the filmgimp Makefile as a reference 
for the rpm build commands.
