Good morning,
I’m wanting to upgrade to 2.1.10, however, I want to install **all** files to a different location so I don’t overwrite **any** 2.1.6 production files. Once I’ve validated operation on 2.1.10 I’ll install it to it’s normal location.
So, if I specify –prefix=/devel/; will this work OK for what I’m wanting – or do I need to take other actions as well, such as: --with-radacctdir= and --with-raddbdir=, etc.?
The preferred mechanism is to specify DESTDIR, every installed file/directory is then created in it's "normal" location, but hung under a DESTDIR root. You can either:
That's fine for packaging, but if you actually want to *run* the server from /devel, ./configure --prefix=/devel is surely preferred, as it'll update the include paths in the generated config & dictionaries.
