Bug #66929 [Opn->Csd]: Incorrect install path with --prefix=...

Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=66929&edit=1 ID: 66929 Updated by: petk@php.net Reported by: mot+php at tom dot be Summary: Incorrect install path with --prefix=... -Status: Open +Status: Closed Type: Bug Package: *Compile Issues Operating System: Debian 7 PHP Version: 5.3.28 -Assigned To: +Assigned To: petk Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: Hello, sorry for a late reply here. I've analyzed and checked this one on the same system (Debian 7 and newer) and with PHP-5.3.28 and up. I can't seem to reproduce this issue anymore. The --prefix configure option works as advertised in PHP and Autoconf. PHP has also INSTALL_ROOT when doing: make install INSTALL_ROOT=/custom/package/path which can install package in that location - useful for packaging and similar. See also this answer for more information about --prefix and INSTALL_ROOT variable. In case this gets repeated on some newer PHP version, just reopen this one, open a new bug or provide more info. Thank you for reporting.

The version of the resulting binaries do check out to be correct. This was on a clean install Debian 7, so no prior PHP installs have been done.
