[SOLVED] prefix install location

Post by jzwanzig » Wed Jan 27, 2010 4:29 pm

Hi, in my current 6.1.0-public branch, setting prefix=foo in the build.ac file leads to installation of bin, share, and lib into foo, not into foo/abinit/x.y as advertised in the documentation and as in how it used to work. Not a major problem but confusing and should be cleaned up. Also, the current 6.1.0 branch still reports itself in the output file as 6.0.0.

Dear Joe,

The prefix "issue" is not a bug, it's a feature. ;) I did this to become compliant with packaging standards.

The version numbering problem you mention is known and will be fixed when you merge trunk into your branch. This was something I forgot to put in the new Abinit Forge management scripts.

Oh, OK. Can you change the comments in the build-config.ac file in the doc/config folder? It still says the old way...

thanks!
