Subject:	How to use INSTALL_LOCATION with system directories

Hi all,

Maybe this has already been answered, but I couldn't find this exact question.

I have an example support module created with:

makeBaseApp.pl -t ioc testInstallLocation

makeBaseApp.pl -i -t ioc testInstallLocation

with its configure/CONFIG_SITE file with:

INSTALL_LOCATION=/opt/test

My expectation was that I would be able to do "make" to compile everything and

"make install" to install the bin, lib, etc, folders to where INSTALL_LOCATION points to,

but that was not the case.

With INSTALL_LOCATION different than $(TOP) it tries to create the destination directories

before compiling anything, thus failing because /opt is owned by root. And doing "sudo make" seems wrong.

Is there any better way to do this or to change this behavior? Or is my expectation wrong about the usage of INSTALL_LOCATION?

Lucas
