Andreas Henriksson 5e3bb534ae iproute: DESTDIR vs LIBDIR.
Hello Rafael Almeida.

I noticed your patch adding DESTDIR support in the latest iproute2 release.
Much appreciated! Soon the debian packages might be able to move to actually
using "make install" rather then it's own installation procedure when
building packages. I've noticed something that will break though....

Debian packages usually sets DESTDIR=debian/tmp/ and packages the contents
of that directory as if it where the root file system. This will break
the /usr/lib/{tc,ip}/ module loading, because they DESTDIR (/usr) will be
/whatever-the-build-path-was/debian/tmp/lib/{tc,ip}/.
I beleive others usually call this the LIBDIR to make the separation between
DISTDIR being the (possibly temporary) place things are put when build is
done, and LIBDIR (and others) are used for actual runtime paths.

I'm attaching a patch that I think fixes this, but would be really happy if
you could have a look at to verify I'm not screwing something up.

How to compile this.
--------------------
1. Look at start of Makefile and set correct values for:

KERNEL_INCLUDE should point to correct linux kernel include directory.
Default (/usr/src/linux/include) is right as rule.

arpd needs to have the db4 development libraries. For debian
users this is the package with a name like libdb4.x-dev.
DBM_INCLUDE points to the directory with db_185.h which
is the include file used by arpd to get to the old format Berkely
database routines.  Often this is in the db-devel package.

2. make

The makefile will automatically build a file Config which
contains whether or not ATM is available, etc.

3. To make documentation, cd to doc/ directory , then
   look at start of Makefile and set correct values for
   PAGESIZE=a4		, ie: a4 , letter ...	(string)
   PAGESPERPAGE=2	, ie: 1 , 2 ...		(numeric)
   and make there. It assumes, that latex, dvips and psnup
   are in your path.
