Forum: Geek Forum Topic: GNU make and Perl question started by: demonk Posted by demonk on Aug. 12 2001,15:52
Here is what I'm trying to do. I want to install a new perl module. But I can't install it to the default perl library locations since 1) I don't have access and 2) To get access I have to show that it is safe and that it will be used.Ok, so I need to install the perl module in my home directory in a development subdirectory. The module is the DBI moduel for talking to databases. It has pretty easy build instruction: perl Makefile.PL So, does anyone know how to set all this up so that it will install the finished perl module into a specified subdirectory instead of the default location? I really don't have much experience with GNU make beyond just letting it use the defaults. Any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated. ------------------ Posted by damien_s_lucifer on Aug. 12 2001,16:33
I don't know how to do it (I've been root on all the systems I've had to install modules to - so far), but you'll probably find a lot of info in install/readme files, as well as the Makefile.PL.Good luck! Posted by hal0 on Aug. 14 2001,01:24
i believe make --help will give you a listing of things to append to change settings like the directory.. or is that ./configure --help ... ? not sure. give it a try. ------------------ |
