You might prefer to install Jardeps in a location that requires fewer privileges than /usr/local, say, ~/.local. One way to do this would be to override the installation-directory setting when installing:
make PREFIX=$$HOME/.local install
When building your own programs, you'd have to then tell Make where jardeps.mk is:
make -I$$HOME/.local/include
A more permanent solution might be to set MAKEFLAGS in your shell's environment:
# In ~/.bash_aliases? export MAKEFLAGS=(-I"$$HOME/.local/include")
If you're doing that, you may as well put a jardeps-env.mk in there to set PREFIX for you when you build Jardeps. I prefer to keep such configuration in ~/.local/etc, so I set MAKEFLAGS to:
# In ~/.bash_aliases export MAKEFLAGS=(-I"$$HOME/.local/etc" -I"$$HOME/.local/include")
Then I define PREFIX in ~/.local/etc/jardeps-env.mk:
# In ~/.local/etc/jardeps-env.mk PREFIX=$$(HOME)/.local
Now my update procedure is:
cd jardeps svn update make make install
