I don't think that's a supported syntax: we may hardcode the prefix passed to configure (or paths derived from it) in more places than the Make variable $(prefix). Couldn't you just pass --prefix=/usr/local/packages/subversion-1.9.3 to configure? Perhaps you could make use of DESTDIR, e.g., «make install DESTDIR=/foo» followed by using stow to link the files installed to /foo into /usr/local. > stow -t /usr/local -d /usr/local/packages subversion-1.9.3 > popd > > The last time I built subversion from source, it was subversion 1.6.11 > on a different machine running RHEL 7.2.
