building/installing with make: PREFIX and DESTDIR

[João M. S. Silva]

Hi, I'm building/installing on Linux with make. How do I use DESTDIR/PREFIX?

PREFIX does not work like ./configure --prefix, since the .cfg files are not correctly installed:

install: ‘cfg/avr.cfg’ and ‘cfg/avr.cfg’ are the same file

Thanks.

This is what I do, to install it under my own /opt :

make PREFIX=/opt/cppcheck-1.68 CFGDIR=/opt/cppcheck-1.68/cfg HAVE_RULES=yes
make PREFIX=/opt/cppcheck-1.68 CFGDIR=/opt/cppcheck-1.68/cfg HAVE_RULES=yes install

I think that worked. I don't know exactly why but I had the idea that CFGDIR was to indicate source .cfg files (not destination ones).

Thanks.

My machine has SunOS 5.10 - Generic_142900-15 sun4u sparc SUNW,SPARC-Enterprise

"make PREFIX=/nfs/home02/sxxj1/CCache/cppcheck-1.68 CFGDIR=/nfs/home02/sxxj1/CCache/cppcheck-1.68/cfg HAVE_RULES=yes"

This command provides the following error message,

make: Fatal error in reader: Makefile, line 5: Unexpected end of line seen

When I use gmake or g++, so many errors are displayed as

"lib/tokenize.h:29: map.h: No such file or directory
lib/tokenize.h:30: list.h: No such file or directory
lib/tokenize.h:31: ctime.h: No such file or directory
.
.
."

Anyone please assist, what is the actual issue and how can I instlal cppcheckon SunOS..?
