Subject: [GRASS5] bug in configure routine

Hi,

I just experienced a small bug in the configure routine:

[jan@mimirs grass]$ ./configure --help
..
Directory and file names:
  --prefix=PREFIX install architecture-independent files in PREFIX
                          [/usr/local/grass-5.0b]
  --exec-prefix=EPREFIX install architecture-dependent files in EPREFIX
                          [same as prefix]
  --bindir=DIR user executables in DIR [EPREFIX/bin]

but AC_BINDIR_DEFAULT is /usr/local/bin and keeps this default
no matter what I specifiy for prefix.

Not a big deal, but should be straightened somehow.

Cheers

  Jan

Hmm, yes you're right. You can use --with-bindir instead of --bindir.
$bindir, created by --bindir, is not used though defined.
$BINDIR, created by --with-bindir, is used instead.

So i suggest to remove --bindir and other unused options of configure.
Any objection?

Regards,
Huidae Cho

Yes, I have done that to compile GRASS :slight_smile:

$bindir, created by --bindir, is not used though defined.

The configure environment should just behave in a general way
(as it is widely used) and be consistent.
