A.1 prefix

prefix corresponds to the variable ‘prefix’ for configure, which passes it on to the ‘Makefile’ it creates. prefix sets the root installation directory for host-independent files as follows:

the directory path of the default database

prefix/com

site-wide configuration files

prefix/etc/gnats

man pages

prefix/man

info documents

prefix/info

include files

prefix/include

etc…

The default value for prefix is ‘/usr/local’, which can be changed on the command line to configure using

 
configure --prefix=prefix

See section Configuring and compiling the software.
