3482	util-linux ignores prefix to install bash completions	Tiago Koji Castro Shibata	lfs-book@…	"When installing util-linux in step 5.33, the prefix is ignored for bash completion files. Configure outputs the following:


{{{
	util-linux  2.24.1

	prefix:            /tools
	exec prefix:       ${prefix}

        localstatedir:     ${prefix}/var

	sbindir:           ${exec_prefix}/sbin
	libdir:            ${exec_prefix}/lib
	includedir:        ${prefix}/include
        usrbin_execdir:    ${exec_prefix}/bin
        usrsbin_execdir:   ${exec_prefix}/sbin

}}}

Notice that the completion files are installed to /usr/share/bash-completion/completions instead of /tools. ""make install"" will fail if the user is lfs. A workaround can be done with a substitution after configuration:

cp Makefile{,.orig}

sed 's|bashcompletiondir = /usr|bashcompletiondir = /tools|' -i Makefile
