./configure --prefix not working

dramb-lys

Install location uses /usr/lib/ regardless.

If hexchat is installed it uses the correct install location for that hexchat install, I could add a flag to ignore that though.

It's nice to let --prefix override the default location. Not a major issue though.

It would be really nice if the '--prefix' will be supported.

TingPing

Respecting `--prefix` just means users can install it into the wrong directory.

I personally would use it to install the otr-module to $HOME : --prefix=$HOME So i wouldnt need the root-acc for the installation.

TingPing

@fred0r Well that would never work anyway, hexchat doesn't support local prefixes directly. So one option is to just add something like `make local-install` that installs directly into `~/.config/hexchat/addons` which will just be a hardcoded path.

TingPing

Or something like `--hexchatlibdir=~/.config/hexchat/addons`.

Any Option to build to a usable local installation would be nice to have.
