The README says:
`--destdir=DIR'
DIR is an installation directory *path prefix*. After you
configure with this option, `make install' will install GDB as
`DIR/bin/gdb', and the libraries in `DIR/lib'. If you specify
`--destdir=/usr/local', for example, `make install' creates
`/usr/local/bin/gdb'.
If you try and use this, however, configure says:
Unrecognized option: "--destdir=/usr1/gnu/DIST".
and then includes:
-datadir=MYDIR configure for installation of host dependent files into MYDIR. ["/usr/local"]
in the usage message.
This is certainly NOT the same thing.
Further, the usage message (or perhaps configure) is incorrect; the
default datadir is supposed to be /usr/local/lib, as one would intuit
from the Makefile.in's.
The usage statement does mention --prefix; which is exactly what I
want.
This should be cleaned up in the next release.
