bash: Installation Names

 
 10.4 Installation Names
 =======================
 
 By default, 'make install' will install into '/usr/local/bin',
 '/usr/local/man', etc.  You can specify an installation prefix other
 than '/usr/local' by giving 'configure' the option '--prefix=PATH', or
 by specifying a value for the 'DESTDIR' 'make' variable when running
 'make install'.
 
    You can specify separate installation prefixes for
 architecture-specific files and architecture-independent files.  If you
 give 'configure' the option '--exec-prefix=PATH', 'make install' will
 use PATH as the prefix for installing programs and libraries.
 Documentation and other data files will still use the regular prefix.
