configure --prefix requires DESTDIR
Hi,
Installing subversion locally using
./configure --prefix=/some/path/where/I/can/write
requires also giving the DESTDIR option when issuing
make install
The problem is the makefile in
subversion/mod_dav_svn
that does not use the prefix setting.

Cheers,
Arjen
PS: when giving DESTDIR=the/prefix, things work fine

For what it's worth, I _always_ pass ``--prefix=something'' when I
build Subversion, and have built it probably 100 times in the last few
years, and have _never_ had to pass DESTDIR to make.

Not in my experience.

There is no makefile in subversion/mod_dav_svn. We use a single
top-level makefile.

I'm not seeing the relevance.

I don't understand the question, mod_dav_svn *is* an Apache module.

Apache modules get installed by Apache's apxs script and I assume you
have Subversion configured to use an apxs that installs outside
prefix.
If you install Apache inside prefix and then configure Subversion to
use the apxs script associated with that installation then the modules
will get installed in prefix. Alternatively, configure Subversion not
to build the Apache modules.
