Bug 2275 – einstall could be friendlier if it took arguments

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

einstall() {
    if [ -f ./[mM]akefile ] ; then
        make prefix=${D}/usr \
            mandir=${D}/usr/share/man \
            infodir=${D}/usr/share/info \
            datadir=${D}/usr/share \
            sysconfdir=${D}/etc \
            localstatedir=${D}/var/lib \
            install || exit 1
    else
        exit 1
    fi

Danel, if we had a "$@" before install in the above function, that might make
things easier, for those packages which need all the above and a a couple of
extra re-directions (gnome packages come to mind)

Thanks
