#4199 closed defect (fixed)

When omitting '--shlibdir=' for configure, SHLIBDIR expands to $DESTDIR$DESTDIR...

Description

Summary of the bug:
In the generated config.mak,
SHLIBDIR expands to
$(DESTDIR)$(DESTDIR)...

How to reproduce:
Run configure without '--shlibdir='

Possible cause of bug:
the following line in the 'configure' file:
shlibdir_default='${LIBDIR}'

should be instead
shlibdir_default='${libdir_default}'

but I need a second opinion.

How can I reproduce this?
If I run ./configure (without --shlibdir), SHLIBDIR expands to /usr/local/lib which is what I expected.

$DESTDIR is used by packaging to redirect the installation to somewhere else than the root of the filesystem.
You usually do something like make install DESTDIR=/tmp/package .

I think the fix should be:
shlibdir_default='${libdir}'

as we have:
LIBDIR=\$(DESTDIR)$libdir
SHLIBDIR=\$(DESTDIR)$shlibdir

By changing shlibdir_default to:
shlibdir_default='${prefix}/lib'
DESTDIR seems to work as intended.

Replying to electropura:

This would break ticket 4183
