It does have a 'Destination' target, which may be similar to an
install target. I don't know as I've never built or installed current.
You set your 'Destination' to
/usr/mybuild
It defaults to /. This means a build overwrites your existing system
binaries. This is fine if you like to live on the edge. ;^)
Here is what I used,
./build.sh -d -O /usr/src/obj -D /usr/src/dest -R /usr/src/release
The above line will use
- /usr/src/obj as the object directory
- /usr/src/dest as the location for new binaries
- /usr/src/release as the location for *.tgz of the binaries
You can install the *.tgz sets that should now be in
/usr/src/release
I'm currently having trouble getting sysinst to find my release sets
when I try and use sysinst to upgrade. I will be reposting this
message to the list.
Good luck.
