Greets, I’m an Mac OS X/SDL developer whose decided to branch out into
Linux after hitting far too many obstacles trying to dev for Win2k using
MinGW…
So, I’m a newbie to Knoppix, but I’ve found it a pretty easy dev
platform for pure C/C++ (via KDevelop) and Pascal (via FreePascal), and
I’ve just dl’d the RPMs and sources for SDL; I’ve been unable to install
the RPMs using KPackage as I don’t know the root password (although “su
root” doesn’t ask for the password???), so I’m trying to compile SDL
from scratch…
I’ve followed the rather terse instructions and have been able to get as
far as “configure; make”; but the “make install” command tries to
install stuff in “/usr/” which it unfortunately can’t as that is on the
Knoppix CD… is there any way to redirect the installation performed by
"make install" to “/mnt/hda1/” rather than “/usr/”? I’ve tried looking
at the help files for “make install”, but there doesn’t seem to be
anything relevant…
Thanks,
Mark--

In the future, such questions should be directed towards Knoppix help
channels.
There is no root password for knoppix.

You’ve got to use “configure --prefix=/mnt/hda1/” instead of “configure”.

You need to change it at the configure step. Use: “./configure
–prefix=/mnt/hda1”.On Wednesday 12 May 2004 9:05 am, Mark Bishop wrote:

Thanks for the info! (I stand corrected; I assumed that since the query
pertained to files within the SDL distro, it should go to this list.)
Thanks again,
