prefix issues

Hi,

I am having a lot of trouble getting a clean install from snv.

I specified --prefix=/opt/gimp

make[2]: Entering directory `/svn/gimp/libgimpconfig' test -z "/opt/gimp/lib" || mkdir -p -- "/opt/gimp/lib" /bin/sh ../libtool --mode=install /usr/bin/install -c 'libgimpconfig-2.0.la' '/opt/gimp/lib/libgimpconfig-2.0.la' libtool: install: error: cannot install `libgimpconfig-2.0.la' to a directory not ending in /opt/lib
make[2]: *** [install-libLTLIBRARIES] Error 1

I did a previous build with --prefix=/opt which was not what I required. It seems that make uninstall; make clean; is not sufficient to clean up the installation.

I also went through and manually deleted anything that seemed to relate to gimp then reran make install.

It seems that the make scripts are incompleter somehow and are not cleaning up properly.

There are other clean-targets. For example, maintainer-clean.

HTH, Michael

You need to 'make maintainer-clean' after changing the prefix.

Thanks for your explaination. This is what I gathered from Alexandre's post but I got a msg saying that target did not exist :?

bash-3.2#make maintainer-clean make: *** No rule to make target `maintainer-clean'. Stop.

I have resolved the immediate problem by deleting everything in sight including the source and starting over again.

When I can spare the computer next I will try 'make maintainer-clean' again, now it is all installed.

I'd prefer to do this cleanly rather than having to resort to shotgun deletions.

Thanks again.

you don't have "make maintainer-clean" because at some point after you said ./autogen.sh, you did ./configure without passing --enable-maintainer-mode. autogen.sh passes that automatically for you.

ciao,

Newbie questions:

- are there any other mantainer options to know of? - are those options generated automatically by normal automake/autoconf nowadays gnu programs or are those a gimp only convention? - documentation links?

TIA

These are standard and they are documented in the automake and autoconf manuals.
