Description Mohammad-Reza Nabipoor 2020-09-01 03:52:42 UTC

Hi

The poke program when installed by the following commands, still expects to find the `pkl-rt.pk` and `poke-default.css` files inside the `/usr/share/poke/` directory.

```
$ ../configure --prefix=/usr
$ make install DESTDIR=/tmp`
```

Hi Mohammad.

My understanding of the GNU Coding Standards is that DESTDIR should be honored for building and installing, but the program is not required to run properly when run from the staged area.

   My understanding of the GNU Coding Standards is that DESTDIR should be honored
   for building and installing, but the program is not required to run properly
   when run from the staged area.

DESTDIR should have no effect on compilation (i.e. building), its only
use is during `make install'.  It should never be used in any other
context than when copying files during `make install` or removing
during `make uninstall'.
