- Berkeley DB Reference Guide:
- Building Berkeley DB for UNIX systems

|
Berkeley DB installs the following files into the following locations, with the following default values:
| Configuration Variables | Default value |
|---|---|
| --prefix | /usr/local/BerkeleyDB.Major.Minor |
| --exec_prefix | $(prefix) |
| --bindir | $(exec_prefix)/bin |
| --includedir | $(prefix)/include |
| --libdir | $(exec_prefix)/lib |
| docdir | $(prefix)/docs |
| Files | Default location |
| include files | $(includedir) |
| libraries | $(libdir) |
| utilities | $(bindir) |
| documentation | $(docdir) |
With one exception, this follows the GNU Autoconf and GNU Coding Standards installation guidelines; please see that documentation for more information and rationale.
The single exception is the Berkeley DB documentation. The Berkeley DB documentation is provided in HTML format, not in UNIX-style man or GNU info format. For this reason, Berkeley DB configuration does not support --infodir or --mandir. To change the default installation location for the Berkeley DB documentation, modify the Makefile variable, docdir.
To move the entire installation tree to somewhere besides /usr/local, change the value of prefix.
To move the binaries and libraries to a different location, change the value of exec_prefix. The values of includedir and libdir may be similarly changed.
Any of these values except for docdir may be set as part of the configuration:
prompt: ../dist/configure --bindir=/usr/local/bin
Any of these values, including docdir, may be changed when doing the install itself:
prompt: make prefix=/usr/contrib/bdb install
The Berkeley DB installation process will attempt to create any directories that do not already exist on the system.
