Re: [paho-dev] New Makefile for building C client

[Roger Light <roger@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Ian,

This hardly seems worth a new bug being filed - when you are
installing in the install target, please prefix all destinations with
$DESTDIR like so:

install ${INSTALL_OPTS} ${MQTTLIB_C_TARGET} ${DESTDIR}${libdir}

The lack of a / separator is deliberate.

DESTDIR is undefined normally, so everything should install to
/usr/local/... as you'd expect. Setting DESTDIR allows the files to be
installed to the correct location within a tree, but not within the
actual OS files. Doing this makes packaging much much more
straightforward. See e.g.
http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/maint-guide/modify.en.html

Cheers,

Roger
