Gnuradio/conf.d in the wrong prefix

GNU Radio
1

I configured gr 3.6.4 to install in my prefix /opt/usr, and I caught the
installer putting the conf stuff in /usr/local anyways. I wasnt sure if
this was the intention, since there was some ramblings about FHS, and
/etc stuff

cmake ~/src/gnuradio/ -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/opt/usr/gr

The end of the make install including error:

CMake Error at gnuradio-core/cmake_install.cmake:38 (FILE):
file cannot create directory: /usr/local/etc/gnuradio/conf.d. Maybe need
administrative privileges.
Call Stack (most recent call first):

Josh,

you need to set SYSCONFDIR separately from CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX.

SYSCONFDIR should default to ${CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX}/etc unless
otherwise
set. Most likely, it was already set somewhere else and you
CMakeCache.txt
file saw that and used the pre-set version. You’d have to explicitly set
that variable now (or wipe away your cache file and reconfigure).
