Subject: [PATCH] libtraceevent: allow custom libdir path
Date: Sat, 7 Dec 2019 11:14:40 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20191207111440.6574-1-sudipm.mukherjee@gmail.com> (raw)
When I use prefix=/usr and try to install libtraceevent in my laptop it
tries to install in /usr/lib64. I am not having any folder as /usr/lib64
and also the debian policy doesnot allow installing in /usr/lib64. It
should be in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/.
Quote: No package for a 64 bit architecture may install files in
/usr/lib64/ or in a subdirectory of it.
ref: https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-opersys.html
Make it more flexible by allowing to mention libdir_relative while
installing so that distros can mention the path according to their policy
or use the default one.

Hi Steve,
And yet another one (hopefully the final one for now). I know I missed
the merge window, but your Ack should be ok.
