[rt-users] Configure Options for Custom Directories

[Tim Wiley]

I'm wanting to change the directory layout of our RT installation just a 
bit to put it more in line with the standards of our packaging & deploy 
system.  The configure script clearly states that this is possible with 
a set of options.


<snip>
Installation directories:
   --prefix=PREFIX         install architecture-independent files in PREFIX
                           [/opt/rt4]
   --exec-prefix=EPREFIX   install architecture-dependent files in EPREFIX
                           [PREFIX]

By default, `make install' will install all the files in
`/opt/rt4/bin', `/opt/rt4/lib' etc.  You can specify
an installation prefix other than `/opt/rt4' using `--prefix',
for instance `--prefix=$HOME'.

For better control, use the options below.

Fine tuning of the installation directories:
   --bindir=DIR            user executables [EPREFIX/bin]
   --sbindir=DIR           system admin executables [EPREFIX/sbin]
   --libexecdir=DIR        program executables [EPREFIX/libexec]
   --sysconfdir=DIR        read-only single-machine data [PREFIX/etc]
   --sharedstatedir=DIR    modifiable architecture-independent data 
[PREFIX/com]
   --localstatedir=DIR     modifiable single-machine data [PREFIX/var]
   --libdir=DIR            object code libraries [EPREFIX/lib]
   --includedir=DIR        C header files [PREFIX/include]
   --oldincludedir=DIR     C header files for non-gcc [/usr/include]
   --datarootdir=DIR       read-only arch.-independent data root 
[PREFIX/share]
   --datadir=DIR           read-only architecture-independent data 
[DATAROOTDIR]
   --infodir=DIR           info documentation [DATAROOTDIR/info]
   --localedir=DIR         locale-dependent data [DATAROOTDIR/locale]
   --mandir=DIR            man documentation [DATAROOTDIR/man]
   --docdir=DIR            documentation root [DATAROOTDIR/doc/rt]
   --htmldir=DIR           html documentation [DOCDIR]
   --dvidir=DIR            dvi documentation [DOCDIR]
   --pdfdir=DIR            pdf documentation [DOCDIR]
   --psdir=DIR             ps documentation [DOCDIR]
</snip>


However, I'm finding that of the 3 options I want to use (prefix, 
sysconfdir & localstatedir), only prefix is being honored.  I've 
attached (for readability) a log of my configure command & then a grep 
for one of my option values.  Clearly, the configure script is ignoring 
my other 2 options as they show up nowhere in the grep output except for 
where the configure command is stored.

Any help?
