Summary 0002310: Installation instructions will not install to OS.
Description The program compiles successfully and will create a working file in the /source directory, but it will not install the file correctly. "sudo make install" or "sudo make prefix:xxxx" do nothing in this regard. Either the instructions are incorrect for how to install on Linux, or the program does not install itself correctly, no matter what interpretation of the instructions are used. I am using the newest LTS of Ubuntu, 10.04.

Same problem here (also in Ubuntu 10.04). After typing:

> make TILES=y prefix=~/crawl SAVEDIR=saves/ DATADIR=data/
> sudo make install

It eventually aborts the installation with an error message about neither PREFIX nor DESTDIR being defined.

Necromancing this bug to point out that the problem here is that our makefile requires that you provide all the options to 'make install' that you provided to 'make'. Otherwise it tries rebuilding with the 'new' options (i.e. none).
sudo make install TILES=y prefix=~/crawl SAVEDIR=saves/ DATADIR=data/

should work.
