Re: [Banshee-List] Building from CVS problems with .m4 lmacros

[Aaron Bockover <abockover novell com>]

We suggest using /usr as your prefix, not /src. I doubt the Wiki
actually says /src, but if it does, please show us so it can be fixed.

You should probably read up on standard "building from source" practices
before attempting to build Banshee from CVS, or even tarball. On "make
install", generated/compiled files targeted for installation will be
copied into respective locations under the prefix you pass
to ./configure or ./autogen (which in turn passes it to configure).
