[LU-6240] make install not honouring --prefix

• Type: Bug
• Resolution: Incomplete
• Priority: Minor
• Affects Version/s: Lustre 2.7.0
• Labels: configure install make prefix
• Environment: automake 1.15, autoconf 2.69, make 4.1, gcc 4.9.2, linux 3.19.0
• Severity: 3

Description

Using git master, I'm trying to configure/compile/install with different options in order to compare the end result, as a way to learn more about Lustre.

I ran:
1) sh ./autogen.sh
2) ./configure --disable-modules --prefix=/home/tureba/lustre-bin
3) make
4) make install

The last step showed install errors as make tried files to install to places outside the prefix I informed. The output of "make -ks" is attached.

According to ./configure --help, those files should be installed somewhere under the provided prefix.
