Re: Compile and install in non-standard directory

Setting INSTALL_ROOT with configure does not appear to do anything. If I do it that way, the "make install" step ignores the INSTALL_ROOT completely and tries to libphp5.so in Apache's default location. If I specify INSTALL_ROOT again during the "make install" step, it throws the same error as previous trying to much with a non-existant apache config file. On Wed, Mar 4, 2015 at 6:04 PM, Jorge F.
