[darcs-devel] [issue493] make install does not completely respect --prefix

[Stephan Beal]

New submission from Stephan Beal <stephan at wanderinghorse.net>:

Hi, darcs guys!

A short demo explains it best:

stephan at owl:/space/src/darcs$ ./configure --prefix=$HOME && make
...
stephan at owl:/space/src/darcs$ make install

test -d /home/stephan/bin || /usr/bin/install -c -d /home/stephan/bin
/usr/bin/install -c darcs /home/stephan/bin
:  -o /home/stephan/bin/darcs
test -d /home/stephan/etc/bash_completion.d || \
                /usr/bin/install -c -d /home/stephan/etc/bash_completion.d
/usr/bin/install -c -m 644 
tools/darcs_completion /home/stephan/etc/bash_completion.d/darcs
test -d /man/man1 || \
                /usr/bin/install -c -d /man/man1
/usr/bin/install: cannot create directory `/man': Permission denied
make: *** [installbin] Error 1

The bins appear to respect the install prefix, but man pages do not (and 
they try install under /man, which is wrong in any case).
