Description Aleksey Cheusov 2009-12-10 15:26:15 MST

It is common practice to support DESTDIR variable at installation time
in order to specify destination prefix directory.

That is 

  ./configure
   make
   make install DESTDIR=/tmp/.destdir.mktemp

should install mktemp(1) and man pages under
/tmp/.destdir.mktemp/usr/local/

Now it fails

 $ make DESTDIR=/tmp/1/2/3 install
 /bin/sh ./mkinstalldirs /usr/local/bin /usr/local/share/man/man1
 /bin/sh ./install-sh -c -m 0555 -s mktemp /usr/local/bin/mktemp
 cp: /usr/local/bin/26232.tmp: Permission denied
 *** Error code 1

 Stop.
 make: stopped in /tmp/mktemp-1.6
 $
