From 3c65577f1af1109beb8de06420efa09188981628 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Richard Levitte Date: Fri, 12 Feb 2016 21:14:03 +0100 Subject: Rename INSTALL_PREFIX to DESTDIR, remove option --install_prefix INSTALL_PREFIX is a confusing name, as there's also --prefix. Instead, tag along with the rest of the open source world and adopt the Makefile variable DESTDIR to designate the desired staging directory. The Configure option --install_prefix is removed, the only way to designate a staging directory is with the Makefile variable (this is also implemented for VMS' descrip.mms et al).
