             Bug #: 13890
           Summary: make install does not consider prefix
           Product: glibc
           Version: 2.15
            Status: NEW
          Severity: critical
          Priority: P2
         Component: libc
        AssignedTo: unassigned@sourceware.org
        ReportedBy: teodori.serge@hotmail.com
                CC: drepper.fsp@gmail.com
    Classification: Unclassified


When building glibc-2.15 for tool chain environment, glibc "make install"
complains that "/var/db" cannot be accessed. I think the "prefix" is not
applied.
After creating the directory, it worked. "/var/db" now contains a "Makefile".
I used as "prefix" "/opt/toolchaine", so it has to be "/opt/toolchaine/var/db".

It contains as first line:
DATABASES = $(wildcard /etc/passwd /etc/group /etc/ethers /etc/protocols \
                       /etc/rpc /etc/services /etc/shadow /etc/gshadow \
                       /etc/netgroup)

I believe this is by design.

You'll want to set vardbdir (see top-level Makeconfig).

ok but anyway it should consider the prefix...
glibc-2.14 didn't need /var/db it must be something new

nss_db is a new feature not in glibc 2.14 yet.

I agree with Paul in comment 1.
I don't think it should consider the prefix, /var is separate from the prefix.
