Use of -D in install?

GNU Radio
1

gr-gpio won’t install on NetBSD because the Makefile.am uses the -D
option to install, and BSD install doesn’t have -D. I tried to find a
man page for the GNU version, but didn’t manage to.

The following fixes the problem, and moves this back closer to standard
automake. OK to commit, or am I overlooking some reason why -D is
useful?

Typo here:

+datarev4dir = $(datadir)/rev2

Otherwise, this looks fine to commit.

Looks like it should work fine. Please commit.

FWIW, the -D creates leading directories.

Thanks for catching the typo - committed and a new README.components
build started.

-D on NetBSD is about stripping DESTDIR from pathnames logged to METALOG
for unpriveleged installs - and it takes an argument. The use of
automakes dir/data declaratoin is simpler anyway.

I am now able to build pretty much everything except gr-comedi (no
comedi lib on my system) and some gr-audio-* components, just by running
README.components. I’d be curious to see if it works ok on Linux or
other systems.
