Subject: Allow configure variables to be set from environment
Date: Fri, 16 Jan 2015 22:58:40 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20150116215840.GF740@kei.fritz.box> (raw)

Hello all,
I have written a Hombrew¹ formula² for mdocml, so OS X users
can install and use mdocml.

In order to adhere to the best practices in Homebrew I propose
the diff below, so that certain variables like PREFIX,
BINDIR, etc. can be changed by simply setting them in the
environment and without needing to edit configure, e.g.:
  % PREFIX=/opt/local ./configure

If there is another way to achieve this please let me know.


Best,
Alexis
