I would like to install a binary from source on a custom path, say /usr/local/myapps. There is no --prefix option in ./configure How can I "make install" at custom path. I tried this.
Obviously your make-file has no provisions for doing this. You will have to change (extend) it to do so. "make install" calls the command "make" which in turn uses its default rule file, "./Makefile". Have a look into this file and change the rules/actions under the target "install" according to your needs.
I have doubt in the flags I set while I compile. For Eg. I compiled an extra library required for ffmpeg (libdc1394) at /usr/local/myapps/lib/libdc1394.so. I then set these ENV variables and compile ffmpeg using the below option.
FFmpeg compilation.
Contents of /usr/local/myapps/lib/pkgconfig/libdc1394-2.pc
Ffmpeg binary compiled fine. But when I checked "/usr/local/myapps/bin/ffmpeg -v" with strace, I could find, it not taking the /usr/local/myapps/lib/libdc1394.so. It takes "/usr/lib/libdc1394.so.22". Please see the corresponding line in strace output.
I need the /usr/local/myapps/lib/libdc1394.so.22 being used during ffpmeg install. There is NO option like "--enable-libdc1394=/path/to/libdc1394"
It might help to set the library path to the directory where your library resides. Set the environment variables "LIBPATH" and/or "LD_LIBRARY_PATH" accordingly (they work like the PATH variable, paths, separated by ":") and try again.
