"make install" not working

[probonopd]

I can't get make install to work on Linux. Is it even supported?

Yes. Normally Qt applications can be compiled and installed using

qmake PREFIX=/usr
make
sudo make install

on Linux but that doesn't work here.

This is what I get:

The command "make -j4" exited with 0.
0.14s$ sudo make DESTIDR=appdir install ; sudo chown -R $USER appdir ; find appdir/
[100%] Built target qt-dab-0.998
Install the project...
-- Install configuration: "Release"
-- Installing: /usr/qt-dab-0.998
-- Removed runtime path from "/usr/qt-dab-0.998"
chown: cannot access ‘appdir’: No such file or directory

So it did not install stuff to appdir/usr/bin/qt-dab.

Here is the build script used:

To me it seems the qt-dab file was created, but installation failed. sudo make DESTIDR=appdir install ; sudo chown -R $USER appdir ; find appdir/ are you sure this line is correct? 2017-03-26 10:49 GMT+02:00 probonopd <[email protected]>:

At least it works for many other applications...

Thanks for catching and sorry for the noise. With DESTDIR it should hopefully work.
