[Freeciv-Dev] Installing Freeciv 1.9.0 (PR#235)

[Keith Rhodes <klrhodes@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I downloaded version 1.9.0 from the ftp site yesterday, and
compiled it this morning.

I wanted to install it under /opt. So, I followed the
instructions in the README file, but I got no joy...

$ make install --prefix=/opt/freeciv
make: unrecognized option `--prefix=/opt/freeciv'

]$ make -v

McGrath.

So, I've got one of the right versions of make, yet it won't
accept this option.

Oh well, I suppose I can live with freeciv elsewhere, but I
would have liked to have been able to keep it on my /opt
partition, along with most other applications.
