Re: [pacman-dev] [PATCH] Make `make distcheck` work again.

bash-completion uses pkg-config to determine the best installation directory, but this does not take --prefix into account (although it works fine with DESTDIR). The fallback value does attempt to set this based on --prefix.

The distcheck uses --prefix, though, which means when attempting to install the results and bash-completion support for pkg-config was detected, it errors out on trying to write to, usually, /usr/share.

Tell distcheck to use the prefix-based fallback location instead, as the PKG_CHECK_* override.

What has changed here? "make distcheck" has been working for me... What configure line do you use to generate the error? Allan
