Compile problem.

I posted this in proxychains forums. Not getting any answers.. Its just a compile problem.

http://proxychains.sourceforge.net/foru … .php?t=204

The problem:

I install anything i compile from source into my 'Root' directory under my home folder.

So I did autoconf and automake without any error.
[Background info for arch! people] this is needed by this version of proxychains

Then proxychains.

./configure --prefix=~/Root
[hpr@myhost proxychains-2.1]$ make
cd . && aclocal
aclocal: couldn't open directory `~/Root//share/aclocal': No such file or directory
make: *** [aclocal.m4] Error 2

and

[hpr@myhost proxychains-2.1]$ ls ~/Root//share/aclocal/
ccstdc.m4   header.m4   maintainer.m4  obstack.m4  sanity.m4
cond.m4     init.m4     missing.m4     protos.m4   strtod.m4
dmalloc.m4  lex.m4      mktime.m4      ptrdiff.m4  termios.m4
error.m4    lispdir.m4  multi.m4       regex.m4    winsz.m4

Re: Compile problem.

Try

./configure --prefix=/usr

then use

make DESTDIR=~/Root install

to install the app in ~/Root

Just a comment: ~/Root is an unusual place to install apps.  Usually, for anything I compile, I make a PKGBUILD and install it on the system.

Re: Compile problem.

It's probably more likely to be called root, not Root, too.

Didnt work. Got the same error.
