[strongSwan] Building strongSwan on one machine, to be installed on another - paths

Hello Ryan,

Don't use the prefix to make the install script copy the files into a special directory.
he prefix is a statical path that will be a part of the source code when it gets compiled.
To install into a different directory, use the DESTDIR directive when you execute make install.
e.g.: make DESTDIR=/home/foo/install install

Decide in which directory you will install the program on that other box
before you compile it and adjust the prefix accordingly.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen/Regards,
Noel Kuntze
