build: fixed PREFIX usage
This change fixes the use of PREFIX by not hard wiring /usr into the path. Besides that if no PREFIX is provided by the user, it is set to /usr/local now which is considered to be the right location for most LSB conforming distros if the user is compiling from sources to not interfere with the package management for binary packages which are build using /usr as prefix in most of the cases. current behavior without setting PREFIX will most likely interfere with most distro package managers when building from source: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ $ sudo make uninstall RM /usr/sbin/netsniff-ng RM /usr/share/man/man8/netsniff-ng.8.gz RM /usr/sbin/trafgen RM /usr/share/man/man8/trafgen.8.gz RM /usr/sbin/astraceroute RM /usr/share/man/man8/astraceroute.8.gz RM /usr/sbin/ifpps RM /usr/share/man/man8/ifpps.8.gz RM /usr/sbin/bpfc RM /usr/share/man/man8/bpfc.8.gz RM /usr/sbin/curvetun RM /usr/share/man/man8/curvetun.8.gz ------------------------------------------------------------------------ current behavior when setting PREFIX=/usr/local looks kind of weird because of the hard wired /usr: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ $ sudo make PREFIX=/usr/local uninstall RM /usr/local/usr/sbin/netsniff-ng RM /usr/local/usr/share/man/man8/netsniff-ng.8.gz RM /usr/local/usr/sbin/trafgen RM /usr/local/usr/share/man/man8/trafgen.8.gz RM /usr/local/usr/sbin/astraceroute RM /usr/local/usr/share/man/man8/astraceroute.8.gz RM /usr/local/usr/sbin/ifpps RM /usr/local/usr/share/man/man8/ifpps.8.gz RM /usr/local/usr/sbin/bpfc RM /usr/local/usr/share/man/man8/bpfc.8.gz RM /usr/local/usr/sbin/curvetun RM /usr/local/usr/share/man/man8/curvetun.8.gz ------------------------------------------------------------------------ using the proposed fix without setting PREFIX: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ $ sudo make uninstall RM /usr/local/sbin/netsniff-ng RM /usr/local/share/man/man8/netsniff-ng.8.gz RM /usr/local/sbin/trafgen RM /usr/local/share/man/man8/trafgen.8.gz RM /usr/local/sbin/astraceroute RM /usr/local/share/man/man8/astraceroute.8.gz RM /usr/local/sbin/ifpps RM /usr/local/share/man/man8/ifpps.8.gz RM /usr/local/sbin/bpfc RM /usr/local/share/man/man8/bpfc.8.gz RM /usr/local/sbin/curvetun RM /usr/local/share/man/man8/curvetun.8.gz ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Signed-off-by: Christian Wiese <chris@opensde.org> Signed-off-by: Daniel Borkmann <dborkman@redhat.com>
