I'm using parenthesis, because they are not expanded before put into the Makefile. So they refer to the Makefile variable prefix and a later make prefix=/foo changes all depending variables. However, as usual I forgot to *quote* the strings. This is the correct version: ./configure \ --prefix=/usr \ --datadir='$(prefix)/share' \ --mandir='$(prefix)/share/man' \ --without-libiconv-prefix \ --without-libintl-prefix Corinna -- Corinna Vinschen Please, send mails regarding Cygwin to Cygwin Project Co-Leader mailto:cygwin@cygwin.com Red Hat, Inc. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
