okay it's slightly wrong, because you have to mkdir that path before.
And in fact, DESTDIR should be used rather than a straight $(prefix).
But I said it was untested. It likely more looks like:
- @TIC@ $(srcdir)/etc/rxvt-unicode.terminfo
+ $(INSTALL) -d $(DESTDIR)/usr/share/terminfo
+ TERMINFO=$(DESTDIR)/usr/share/terminfo @TIC@
$(srcdir)/etc/rxvt-unicode.terminfo
Or even better, using a terminfodir variable that is configureable from
configure and defaults to /usr/share/terminfo. But that exceeds my autoconf
skills by far ;)
Anyways Decklin, you have the rought idea now, I'll let you fix the last
details.
