I'm building the source from a package called OIS.
The package always installs in usr/local/include/OIS
I tried using the ./configure --includedir=/usr/local/include flag but it seems that only changes the prefix not the suffix (OIS).
I could just copy the files but I'm not sure if this would break anything in the header files.
Can someone guide me where I could possibly edit so that when I run make install it would install in /usr/local/include and not /usr/local/include/OIS?
The reason I want to do this is because all the header files have "file.h" when in fact they're in "OIS/file.h". I would have to change this in all the header files so I want to change the install directory to avoid doing that, and in the future in case there's an update to the source.

1Or you could just pass

Why don't you just install it from the repository? – Paused until further notice. – 2010-11-22T07:32:31.787
1But normally the
<package>-configscript or<package>.pcfile should direct the compiler as to what flags it should use. – Ignacio Vazquez-Abrams – 2010-11-22T07:32:55.830@Dennis Installing libois-dev from repository still installs it in /usr/include/OIS – Tek – 2010-11-22T07:42:18.040
@Ignacio, can you post your package comments as an answer? It was the closest to the answer I was looking for. – Tek – 2010-11-22T08:28:02.933
