confUBINDIR
Location of user executables Build macro
User-executable programs are those that can be run
without special permissions. The confUBINDIR macro
determines where such programs will be installed.
User programs for this macro are
newaliases,
mailq,
hoststat,
purgestat,
vacation, and
rmail. (Note that
editmap,
mailstats,
makemap, and
praliases use confSBINDIR, and that
smrsh and
mail.local use confEBINDIR.) The
confUBINDIR
macro is usually correctly defined inside your
devtools/OS file. To redefine
it, simply enter in your m4
build file a line that looks something like
this:
define(`confUBINDIR', `/usr/local/bin')
Be forewarned, however, that if you relocate these programs, you might also have to remove earlier installed or vendor-supplied versions to avoid having users running the wrong programs. And note that -E DESTDIR (DESTDIR= on page 349) can be used to relocate all installation directories.
