Re: placement of lynx.cfg...
It seems to me that things should work like this.
Defaults:
prefix = /usr/local # placement of entire distribution
exec-prefix = $prefix # placement of just binary portion of
distribution
libdir = $prefix/lib # placement of lynx.cfg at this time
The intention here is for
executable to go into $exec-prefix/bin (i.e. /usr/local/bin/lynx)
config file into $libdir/lynx.cfg (i.e. /usr/local/lib/lynx.cfg)
man page into $prefix/man/man1/lynx.1 (/usr/local/man/man1/lynx.1)
Now, for linux, if folk want things generally under /usr, they change
$prefix. This results in
executable to go into $exec-prefix/bin (i.e. /usr/bin/lynx)
config file into $libdir/lynx.cfg (i.e. /usr/lib/lynx.cfg)
man page into $prefix/man/man1/lynx.1 (/usr/man/man1/lynx.1)
For someone wanting to install in their own personal directory, and trying
to maintain different executables for multiple OSes, you ight see:
--prefix=$HOME
--exec-prefix=$HOME/sparc-sun-solaris2.5.1
--libdir=$HOME/lib/lynx
resulting in
executable to go into $HOME/sparc-sun-solaris2.5.1/bin/lynx
config file into $HOME/lib/lynx/lynx.cfg
man page into $HOME/man/man1/lynx.1
