pass DESTDIR in env var dtucker: ok+

Description john.bartoszewski 2008-08-14 06:02:38 AEST 
The default make commands (/usr/ccs/bin/make, /usr/xpg4/bin/make) don't respect passing DESTDIR on the command line so if you do:

make install prefix=/opt

is not respected by:

(cd scard && $(MAKE) DESTDIR=$(DESTDIR) install)

If one uses gmake from the optional /usr/sfw/bin/gmake then it works just fine.

This is very minor, and probably won't be run across by many others.

we can pass DESTDIR via:

env DESTDIR=$(DESTDIR) make

as env(1) seems to be POSIX.

pass DESTDIR in env var

This passes DESTDIR via the environment. Please test.

pass DESTDIR in env var

works for me (solaris 10 x86 using /usr/ccs/bin/make)
