confSBINDIR
root-oriented program directory Build macro
Programs that should be executed only by
root are considered
"root-oriented.” Among those
programs are editmap,
makemap,
mailstats, and
praliases. Such programs are
installed in a directory whose name is defined by
the confSBINDIR
macro. In general, this macro is correctly defined
for you in your devtools/OS
directory, but if you wish to install one or more of
those programs in a different location, you can do
so like this:
define(`confSBINDIR', `/opt/mail/sbin')
Here, we have defined the appropriate macros to force installation of the root-oriented programs in the /opt/mail/sbin directory. Naturally, this directory must be properly created ahead of time.
Note that -E DESTDIR (DESTDIR= on page 349) can be used to relocate all installation directories.
