<p>With one exception, this follows the GNU Autoconf and GNU Coding
Standards installation guidelines; please see that documentation for
more information and rationale.</p>
<p>The single exception is the Berkeley DB documentation. The
Berkeley DB documentation is provided in HTML format, not in
UNIX-style man or GNU info format. For this reason, Berkeley DB
configuration does not support <span class="bold"><strong>--infodir</strong></span> or <span class="bold"><strong>--mandir</strong></span>.
To change the default installation location for the Berkeley DB
documentation, modify the Makefile variable, <span class="bold"><strong>docdir</strong></span>.</p>
<p>When installing Berkeley DB on filesystems shared by machines of
different architectures, please note that although Berkeley DB
include files are installed based on the value of $(prefix), rather than
$(exec_prefix), the Berkeley DB include files are not always
architecture independent.</p>
<p>To move the entire installation tree to somewhere besides
<span class="bold"><strong>/usr/local</strong></span>, change the value of <span class="bold"><strong>prefix</strong></span>.</p>
<p>To move the binaries and libraries to a different location, change the
value of <span class="bold"><strong>exec_prefix</strong></span>. The values of <span class="bold"><strong>includedir</strong></span> and
<span class="bold"><strong>libdir</strong></span> may be similarly changed.</p>
<p>Any of these values except for <span class="bold"><strong>docdir</strong></span> may be set as part of
the configuration:</p>
<pre class="programlisting">prompt: ../dist/configure --bindir=/usr/local/bin</pre>
<p>Any of these values, including <span class="bold"><strong>docdir</strong></span>, may be changed when doing
the install itself:</p>
<pre class="programlisting">prompt: make prefix=/usr/contrib/bdb install</pre>
<p>The Berkeley DB installation process will attempt to create any
directories that do not already exist on the system.</p>
