Hi Gesley,

I have just confirmed that CVS HEAD will build and install fine in a
non-standard location with a couple of minor tweaks.
In my test case, I used /home/eb/non-std-prefix as the prefix.

$ mkdir /home/eb/non-std-prefix   # make sure the directory is there

The PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable needs to be set
prior to the build so that it points into the prefix lib/pkgconfig directory.

$ export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/home/eb/non-std-prefix/lib/pkgconfig

Then I edited the buildit script so that it looked like this:

        #!/bin/sh
        # -*- shell-script -*-
        
        if [ $# -gt 0 -a "$1" = -n ]
        then
          SUDO=
          shift
        else
          SUDO=sudo
        fi
        
        ./bootstrap &&
        ./configure --prefix=/home/eb/non-std-prefix &&    # added --prefix
        make &&
        make check &&
        $SUDO make install

[I'll add a --prefix=<foo> argument to the script in a bit.]

Then I did

$ ./for-all-dirs ../buildit -n 2>&1 | tee make.log

and everything built, checked and installed correctly.

Hmmm, are you trying to install into the same directory that you are
building from?  That probably won't work.

What is the full path to where you checked out or unpacked gnuradio-core?
What are you using for the value of --prefix?
