[PATCH 2/5] xfstests: Use libtool to install applications

[Boris Ranto]

Rich,

just as Eric guessed, I package the xfstests test suite (and that is also
why I need the DIST_ROOT variable functioning properly). Although I can
currently work around the problem  by doing something like

./configure
make
mkdir -p /var/lib/xfstets/{ltp,src}
make DIST_ROOT=$RPM_BUILD_ROOT install

it certainly is not the best solution to the problem. If the test suite is
completely independent from its location then also maybe this could work (I
did not try it, yet and I'm still not sure it is the best solution)

./configure --prefix=$RPM_BUILD_ROOT
make
make install

but if that is the case then it'd probably make sense to drop the whole
DIST_ROOT support from install-sh script to avoid confusion and update the
spec file in bulld/rpm/.

Regards,
Boris

(Rich, sorry for the duplicate message, I forgot to cc mailing list the
first time.)
