By default, ‘make install’ will install into
/usr/local/bin, /usr/local/man, etc. You can
specify an installation prefix other than /usr/local by
giving configure the option --prefix=PATH,
or by specifying a value for the DESTDIR ‘make’
variable when running ‘make install’.
You can specify separate installation prefixes for
architecture-specific files and architecture-independent files.
If you give configure the option
--exec-prefix=PATH, ‘make install’ will use
PATH as the prefix for installing programs and libraries.
Documentation and other data files will still use the regular prefix.
