Hi Jesse, thank you for the prompt response. I should have mentioned,
I have tried what you have suggested and get the same issue; I believe
this is because certain directories are specified in Makefile.inc as
follows:

PREFIX=/usr
LIB_DIR=${PREFIX}/lib
INC_DIR=${PREFIX}/include
SHARE_DIR=${PREFIX}/share
BIN_DIR=${PREFIX}/bin

I could be wrong, but that seems to be the case, because when the
following line is run, it still attempts to use those directories
rather than creating them within the package directory:

${CC} -DLIB_DIR=\"${LIB_DIR}\" -DINC_DIR=\"${INC_DIR}\" -o
${BIN_DIR}/tsdl-config ${SRC_DIR}tools/getlibs.c

Again, though, I could be wrong about that, having never made nor
researched Makefiles in any detail.

Regards,

Joel.
