make install DESTDIR=... fails outside source directory

[mikrosk]

If I do something like:

 ../mintbin/configure --prefix=/usr --host=m68k-atari-mint
make
make install DESTDIR=$PWD/binary-package

the last step fails. It doesn't happen when launching ./configure from source directory.

This seems to be fixed but only for cross compilation. So

../mintbin-master/configure --target=m68k-atari-mint --disable-nls --prefix=/usr && make && make install-strip DESTDIR=${PWD}/binary-package/${CPU}/mintbin`

works but

../mintbin-master/configure --target=m68k-atari-mint --host=m68k-atari-mint --disable-nls --prefix=/usr && make && make install-strip DESTDIR=${PWD}/binary-package/${CPU}/mintbin

doesn't. It fails with

What is odd is that this fails for mint only. mintelf works totally fine. When checking the difference, I see that in mint we do:

if test x/home/mikro/atari/compilers/m68k-atari-mint-build.git/binary-package/m68000/mintbin/usr/include != x/home/mikro/atari/compilers/m68k-atari-mint-build.git/binary-package/m68000/mintbin; then \
          /bin/sh ../../../downloads/mintbin-master/mkinstalldirs /home/mikro/atari/compilers/m68k-atari-mint-build.git/binary-package/m68000/mintbin/usr/include/mint || exit 1; \
          list='a.out.h prg-out.h'; for header in $list; do \
            ln /home/mikro/atari/compilers/m68k-atari-mint-build.git/binary-package/m68000/mintbin/usr/m68k-atari-mint/include/mint/$header /home/mikro/atari/compilers/m68k-atari-mint-build.git/binary-package/m68000/mintbin/usr/include/mint/$header >/dev/null 2>/dev/null \

          done; \
fi

while in mintelf:

if test x/home/mikro/atari/compilers/m68k-atari-mint-build.git/binary-package/m68000/mintbin != x/home/mikro/atari/compilers/m68k-atari-mint-build.git/binary-package/m68000/mintbin; then \

Note the additional /usr/include suffix behind mintbin in the mint case. (the bug?)

@th-otto I see you use ${MAKE} DESTDIR="${THISPKG_DIR}${sysroot}" target_alias=$TARGET install in your scripts but for me it doesn't work at all. :-/ And you use the same repo/branch, odd.

[th-otto]

if test x/home/mikro/build/binary-package//mintbin/usr/include != x/home/mikro/build/binary-package//mintbin; then

That looks like the DESTDIR that you have used, but it is missing the ${CPU} part. I think that variable is not exported in this repo, because it is current mainly used for the cross-compiler, and that don't build native per-cpu target.

I think if you need also the native binaries, we'll have to add entries to the matrix.

Ah, right, I copy&pasted it from my scripts to test the command line separately. So this is done correctly in my scripts, i.e. it's not the issue here.

I just wonder why --host=m68k-atari-mint is treated differently than --host=m68k-atari-mintelf, i.e. the former is failing why the latter isn't.
