Description

Lib htp installs into /usr/lib instead of /usr/local/lib by default on OSX 10.5. This makes BSD admins cranky, as the FHS standard (http://proton.pathname.com/fhs/) and "man hier" disagree.

$ pwd
/usr/lib
$ ls l libhtp*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 78360 Jan 8 09:50 libhtp-0.1.1.dylib
-rw-r--r- 1 root wheel 306320 Jan 8 09:50 libhtp.a
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 18 Jan 8 09:50 libhtp.dylib -> libhtp-0.1.1.dylib
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 928 Jan 8 09:50 libhtp.la

I've changed the installation prefix to /usr/local, so that will take care of new installations. I see that the default automake install does not remove any of the versions previously installed in /usr/lib; I still need to figure out how to deal with that situation.

I added the following code to the Makefile:

# An early version of LibHTP would install in /usr, rather
# than /usr/local. The following code removes the older
# installation.
install-exec-hook:
        rm -rf /usr/lib/libhtp.*
        rm -rf /usr/lib/libhtp-0.1.*
        rm -rf /usr/include/htp/

While the code works as intended, I don't know if that's appropriate to do in a Makefile, or if there is a better way to address this issue.

I think this is fixed in libhtp upstream.
