Bug #7763
openwindows: unable to override config and log directory
Description
When building on Windows, even in MSYS2, it appears some paths are hardcoded for the MSI installer, such as the configuration directory and log directory which are always C:\Program Files\Suricata. While this is useful for the package, it is not that useful for developing and testing in the MSYS2 environment where a more traditional layout makes more sense.
My recommendations is that when building on MSYS2 we should a more unix style layout, and allow the parameters to be overriden with ./configure options. This matches make install where the binaries are install in /bin or /usr/local/bin.
