I applied the series. But is there a way to install in a specific directory
and not in the system directories? (I didn't watch the talk).

For example, I can do:

 $ mkdir /tmp/install
 $ make DESTDIR=/tmp/install/ install

for libtraceveent, libtracefs and trace-cmd / libtracecmd and it will
install into /tmp/install/... just like it would have installed in /. The
big difference is, I don't need to be root to run that command.

Then what I can do is:

 $ cd /tmp/install
 $ tar -cvjf ../package.tar.bz2 .
 $ scp ../package.tar.bz2 root@somebox:/tmp
 $ ssh root@somebox
 # cd /
 # tar -xvjf /tmp/package.tar.bz2

And that would have installed the package on to the machine "somebox".
