Berkeley DB XML installs the following files into the following locations:
Configuration Variables | Default value |
---|---|
--prefix | /usr/local/BerkeleyDBXML.Major.Minor |
--exec_prefix | $(prefix) |
--bindir | $(exec_prefix)/bin |
--includedir | $(prefix)/include |
--libdir | $(exec_prefix)/lib |
docdir | $(prefix)/docs |
Berkeley DB XML uses the following default values for its installation locations:
Files | Default location |
---|---|
include files | $(includedir) |
libraries | $(libdir) |
utilities | $(bindir) |
documentation | $(docdir) |
There is one exception to the above values, and this follows the GNU Autoconf and GNU Coding Standards installation guidelines; please see that documentation for more information and rationale.
Also the Berkeley DB XML documentation is provided in HTML and PDF format, not in
UNIX-style man or GNU info format. For this reason, Berkeley DB XML
configuration does not support --infodir
or
--mandir
. To change the default installation
location for the Berkeley DB XML documentation, modify the Makefile
variable, docdir
.
When installing Berkeley DB XML on filesystems shared by machines of different architectures, please note that although Berkeley DB XML include files are installed based on the value of $(prefix), rather than $(exec_prefix), the Berkeley DB XML include files are not always architecture independent.
To move the entire installation tree to somewhere besides
/usr/local
, change the value of
prefix
.
To move the binaries and libraries to a different location, change
the value of exec_prefix
. The values of
includedir
and libdir
may be
similarly changed.
Any of these values except for docdir
may be set
as part of the configuration:
prompt: ../dist/configure --bindir=/usr/local/bin
Any of these values, including docdir
, may be
changed when doing the install itself:
prompt: make prefix=/usr/contrib/bdb install
The Berkeley DB XML installation process will attempt to create any directories that do not already exist on the system.
