Hi Jure,

Yes. I could do that, but the point was to use the mechanism already in place
in the EPICS build system. I thought "INSTALL_LOCATION" would be enough,
but because there's no separate "build" and "install" phases, it doesn't really
work to compile sources with one user and install with another.

Basically, I thought I could do the "autotools" style installation.

Hi Ralph, Abdalla,

I understand. Because there's no separate "installation phase" it
doesn't seem possible to achieve what I was thinking.

Thanks,

Lucas

Hi Lucas,

Why not? Unless I misunderstood what you want, you could do

make INSTALL_LOCATION=${HOME}/tmp/staging/ FINAL_LOCATION=/opt/test
sudo mv ${HOME}/tmp/staging/ /opt/test
sudo chown -R epics:epics /opt/test  # Or root, or whatever

Perhaps having the staging directory under $(TOP) or /tmp makes more sense, it depends on your case, but you get the idea. Would this work for you?

Best,
Jure
