Hi, guys -
Some progress on the pcp --prefix=PATH work for
<http://oss.sgi.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=921> may be found in the
pcpfans.git fche/prefix branch. The gist of the change is that
% autoconf
% ./configure --prefix=/some/random/directory
approximately works to create a self-contained working pcp/pmcd
installation (with the setting of a handful of environment variables).
The top level GNUmakefile no longer invokes ./configure; that is left
to a developer, or to the Makepkgs packager frontend. It's getting
ready for testing on non-linux platforms. Some of them may need a
greater set of --with-FOOdir type new configure options added to match
the previous behaviors.
Please take a look and give it a try. I hope to work on this more
intensely for the next little while, perchance to get it merged in
time for the next pcp minor release.
