Name
confUBINDIR
Synopsis
User-executable programs are those that can be run without special
permissions. The confUBINDIR
macro determines
where such programs will be installed. User programs for this macro
are newaliases, mailq,
hoststat, purgestat,
vacation, and rmail. (Note
that editmap, mailstats,
makemap, and praliases use
confSBINDIR
, and that smrsh
and mail.local use
confEBINDIR
.) The confUBINDIR
macro is usually correctly defined inside your
devtools/OS file. To redefine it, simply enter
in your m4 build file a line that looks
something like this:
define(`confUBINDIR', `/usr/local/bin')
Be forewarned, however, that if you relocate these programs, you might also have to remove earlier installed or vendor-supplied versions to avoid having users running the wrong programs. And note that -E DESTDIR (See this section) can be used to relocate all installation directories.
