To build a package I do ./configure --prefix=/somewhere ... gmake gmake install prefix=/tmp/installroot And then usually a "cd /tmp/installroot ; find ." gives you the files which openssh would install and which should be included in the Package. That does not work with 3.4p1 because (a) the configure-option "--prefix" does not influence the "--with-privsep-path" Option (which it should be, I believe) (b) The prefix in the command "gmake install prefix=/tmp/installroot" does not respect the "prefix=..."-option when creating the privsep-path: $ gmake install prefix=/tmp/installroot [...] mkdir /tmp/installroot/man/man8 ./mkinstalldirs /tmp/installroot/libexec mkdir /tmp/installroot/libexec ./mkinstalldirs /var/empty mkdir /var/empty Cannot create directory "/var/empty": Permission denied [...] Package building would be easier if the "prefix" option would work for the privsep-path. Bye, Wolfgang
use DESTDIR= prefix= is not valid solution to your problem.
