Re: Compile and install in non-standard directory

I expected this to be straightforward but I'm running into perplexing problems and having little luck googling solutions. I would like to install all of the compiled files in non-standard directories so I can have the compiled version side-by-side with my current version. This is with the PHP-5.6 branch from github, if relevant. I'm running ./configure specifying both --prefix and --exec-prefix. Compilation finishes without issue. The first thing I notice when I run make install is it tries to dump the apache module in Apache's default directory completely ignoring the specified prefixes. After reviewing ./configure --help and all the documentation I can track down, I don't see any clear solution to this. Is there a way to specify an install path here that I'm missing? Next I tried using INSTALL_PATH. This isn't ideal since it appear to create /usr/lib etc directory levels under INSTALL_PATH, but at least the setting works. Except this crashes too. I'm seeing this exact bug from 2002 (reported as fixed but does not seem to be...): https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=17491 If I run: INSTALL_PATH=/home/andy/php56/ make install The process dies with this error: apxs:Error: Config file /home/andy/php56//etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf not found. I really don't need the install process monkeying with my Apache configuration; I'm perfectly capable of adjusting it myself later. Is there any option I can specify to simply make it skip that step? Again I looked at the configure --help options and nothing stood out as particularly likely. The way I always did it was setting it at configure time, Eg: INSTALL_PATH=/opt/php56 ./configure...

Did you try that?
