[OpenIndiana-discuss] Using OI-userland to develop software

[Aurélien Larcher]

Dear Ben,

1) Glib being based on Autotools the relevant "recipes" are in this file:

https://github.com/OpenIndiana/oi-userland/blob/oi/hipster/make-rules/configure.mk

As you see, changing the value of COMPONENT_PREFIX to /opt/local in your
glib Makefile will achieve what you want.

2) Instead of getting root to install the package to the local repository,
you can consider giving software installation credentials to your user,
change the line in /etc/user_attr:

user::::type=normal;profiles=Software Installation

Best

Aurelien
