10 | <para><parameter>--prefix=/usr</parameter>: Previously mozilla did
|
---|
11 | not support the make install option. Hence the package was installed in
|
---|
12 | <filename>/opt</filename>. The package now supports "make install" and follows
|
---|
13 | the <acronym>FHS</acronym> guidelines for installation. Hence the book now
|
---|
14 | recommends installation in a system wide prefix such as <filename>/usr
|
---|
15 | </filename>.</para>
