Hello Yaroslav,

It the case when "some subdirs makefiles do not care about DESTDIR, which is generally respected by autotools" an autotools version issue? Or related to something else completely?

I see that making the change on my end does not produce any ill effects, but I would like to observe the behavior before committing the "fix".

Dear FS Developers,

Per ZK's blessing I am moving my "whining"... khe khe... dialogue over to fsdev mailing list. And would like to begin with this patch which have got buried in the users' mailing list:

I have got into a problem that currently some subdirs makefiles do not care about DESTDIR, which is generally respected by autotools... attached patch should help to make FS 'installable' e.g. via

make install DESTDIR=$PWD/INSTALL-DIR/

NB in the future, it would be a nice "test" to add to .travis.yml upon successful build, without system wide installation with sudo ;)

Please review/adopt/accept.

With best regards,
