Hard coded paths break tirex

Open bib1963 opened this issue 3 years ago • 1 comments

I have no wish for code pulled from any git to be installed within the standard file system structures. I always make sure these things are installed under /opt and their own directory. So I mod's Makefile.

After building and attempting to start, everything breaks due to all the hard coded paths.

Any path referenced, should be taking its hint from PREFIX & DESTDIR, although, we should only be supplying one of these. Having both, confuses matters.

Recommended process is to build a proper package e.g. RPM/Debian and install that, instead of trying to "make install" into a live system. Reason: Package manger will keep track of installed files and allow a clean uninstall. Keeping this open though in case someone wants to fix the "make install" route.
