Why don't you give the prefix you want? Like so,

confix.py '--prefix=/home/drs/dev/ccmtools/cpp-environment/root'
'--buildroot=/home/drs/dev/ccmtools/cpp-environment' --bootstrap
--configure --make --targets=install

I believe the $(prefix) macro in the Makefiles is somewhat private
anyway, in a sense that it should not be overridden by the user.

Or am I missing something (I guess so)? I've never built RPMs.

BTW, the repo directory contains "module descriptions" of the modules
you have built. When you are using confix to build a package that uses
the installed modules, confix uses these descriptions when building a
dependency graph and generating build instructions. You can view the
repo files using print_module.py <filename>. (print_module.py is a
script that comes with confix.)
