Install a Source in a Portable Folder
by Nick-us from LinuxQuestions.org on (#4RZVS)
Some programs that offer ready-made binaries run in their folders, including their basic dependencies.
I like the Geany Text Editor. Source is available
When we use Slackbuild I understand that the script installs it in a temporary folder to compress at the end.
But I don't know how this is done.
What I would like to do is run the configure and make commands so that Geany and its Plugins are installed in one folder and can run from that portable folder.
Does anyone know how to do this?
