Distribution of openssh once compiled

[Roumen Petrov]

If you build and install openssh on one workstation, just mount this dir on 
another, go in mounted point and type make install.

But good style is to make a instalation package with binary files, etc and use 
default OS instaler. I think that is not for a Makefile.


------------------------------
Another idea is:

#DESTDIR='/tmp/openssh-bala-bla-bla'
#export DESTDIR
#make -e install

in $DESTDIR/... is all (binary, data, man , etc ) backup it.
!!!!!! but on new WS after install this backup you must create host key files
command is /usr/bin/ssh-keygen -t <TYPE> -f /etc/.../ssh_.....
look in Makefile for host-key rule and man page for ssh-keygen.

Check you make option for '-e'  !!!!
  -e  don't overide environment variables

Some projects use automake to create Makefile.in. In this projects has rule make 
dist, but this rule create tar.gz file only with source files. This is not for 
you because must run configure ..., make[, make ...], make install on all WS.
