Installing to alt directory

[Nick Pappas <nw...@gmail.com>]

Hello all.

What is the proper way to go about installing Subversion into a
location other then what "make install" will by default?  A quick look
makes me think I can just take the "subversion" folder, the results of
the compile, and copy it to where I want.  Is this correct?

I'm attempting to install Subversion on a modified LinkStation
(http://www.buffalotech.com), but not void my warranty in the process.
:)  This means I can't repartition the drive and give myself enough
space where I want it.  I need to install the binaries, and make sure
all the data, is stored on the much larger storage partition.

Thanks for any help!

That sort of wanton copying generally causes stuff to break. :)

To change the location where Subversion gets installed, run the configure step 
with '--prefix=/some/path'. If you want more control than that, run './configure 
--help', and it will spit out a detailed list of options, including settings for 
where the different parts of Subversion get installed (ie. shared libraries, 
binaries, header files, etc.).

Subversion's data (I assume you mean the repositories?) can be stored anywhere - 
just specify the path to your storage partition when you create a repository.
