[Nix-dev] the trunk doesn't respect --prefix

[Alexy Khrabrov]

I've checked out nix from svn, did bootstrap.sh and configure --prefix=/opt/nix

First of all, it failed to build doc as I didn't have the /docbook dirs; I didn't want doc and deleted doc from the SUBDIRS.  Then nix-channel --update failed as it wanted to create /nix, not /opt/nix, anyways.  I manually changed "/nix..." in it to "/opt/nix...", but that was not enough.  When I created /nix just to satisfy it, it put a log and var in it.  nix-env -i ghc then proceeded to build everything and failed very quickly...

Should I stick with a tarball?
Thanks,
Alexy
