Change prefix in 1.8 installation

Asked by Mark Filipiak

With the 1.8 installation method (using Installer.py) how do I change the directory that the modules (in my case just psolver, futile and libyaml) are installed in? Adding the usual '--prefix=/abc/def' to the configure string does not work.

This option can be specified by adding the string

prefix='<yourprefix>'

in the rcfile ysed for the installation.

See the jhbuild wegpage:

https://developer.gnome.org/jhbuild/stable/config-reference.html.en

For a list of the available options.

Do not hesitate

Thanks again Luigi,

Ok, I see that I should set up the configure and make options in the rcfile (buildrc) first, then run Installer.py
