Installing Berkeley DB
Berkeley DB installs the following files into the following locations, with the
following default values:
Configuration Variables | Default value |
--prefix | /usr/local/BerkeleyDB.Major.Minor |
--exec_prefix | $(prefix) |
--bindir | $(exec_prefix)/bin |
--includedir | $(prefix)/include |
--libdir | $(exec_prefix)/lib |
docdir | $(prefix)/docs |
Files | Default location |
include files | $(includedir) |
libraries | $(libdir) |
utilities | $(bindir) |
documentation | $(docdir) |
With one exception, this follows the GNU Autoconf and GNU Coding
Standards installation guidelines; please see that documentation for
more information and rationale.
The single exception is the Berkeley DB documentation. The Berkeley DB
documentation is provided in HTML format, not in UNIX-style man or GNU
info format. For this reason, Berkeley DB configuration does not support
--infodir or --mandir. To change the default
installation location for the Berkeley DB documentation, modify the Makefile
variable, docdir.
To move the entire installation tree to somewhere besides
/usr/local, change the value of prefix.
To move the binaries and libraries to a different location, change the
value of exec_prefix. The values of includedir and
libdir may be similarly changed.
Any of these values except for docdir may be set as part of
the configuration:
prompt: ../dist/configure --bindir=/usr/local/bin
Any of these values, including docdir, may be changed when doing
the install itself:
prompt: make prefix=/usr/contrib/bdb install
The Berkeley DB installation process will attempt to create any directories that
do not already exist on the system.
