Enabling ./configure --prefix key

[Ignotus]

Please create a key --prefix for ./configure because your program's installed in /usr/local directory by default.

Ok, I'll add.

But isn't
DISTDIR=/anypath/ make install
is a common way of installing programs in non default path?

~$ locate PKGBUILD | xargs grep -l DISTDIR | wc -l

~$ locate PKGBUILD | xargs grep -le --prefix | wc -l

I don't undestand where the problem is:

qnikst@qnikst [git:master]kbdd % ./configure --prefix ~

qnikst@qnikst [git:master]kbdd % make

qnikst@qnikst [git:master]kbdd % make install
/usr/bin/install -c -m 644 kbdd-service-interface.xml '/home/qnikst/share/dbus-1/interfaces'
/usr/bin/install -c kbdd '/home/qnikst/bin'

So program install in a prefix directory.

Maybe I misunderstood something...
