This was already the value used on the + `install` target, but now one can specifically configure it without having + to change `$(PREFIX)`; +- `$(LIBEXECDIR)` pointing to `$(PREFIX)/libexec` where + `src/load-locale-messages.sh.in` is put; +- `$(SHAREDIR)` as the base directory for `$(MANDIR)` and `$(LOCALEDIR)`; +- `$(MANDIR)` in favour of `$(MANPREFIX)`, which uses `$(LOCALEDIR)/man`. So + now the manpages directory can be affected by either changing `$(PREFIX)` or + `$(SHAREDIR)`; +- `$(LOCALEDIR)` pointing to `$(SHAREDIR)/locale`, where the translated strings + are installed. + +### Calling `make` + +In order to generate the correct files, one should provide the `$(PREFIX)` value +to `make` both when building and when installing.
