Description Fabian Deutsch 2009-01-19 21:43:48 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
When using gimptool-2.0 to install some plugin, the DESTDIR env var ist not respected as mentioned in the man pages.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Get some plugin (http://people.via.ecp.fr/~remi/soft/gimp/gimp_plugin_en.php3)
2. make
3. DESTDIR=/foo/baz make install


Actual results:
The plugin get's installed into the users gimp plugin folder. _Not_ under /foo/baz

Expected results:
The plugin is installed into /foo/baz

Does this happen every time?
Yes

Other information:
Seems to be a regression. When looking at current trunk, it's clear that destdir is not handled correctly. Sadly I can not provide a patch. (tools/gimptool.c, L. 447 and some jumping around). Mostly the dest_dir param is set NULL.

gimptool is meant to be a convenience tool for the user to install simple plug-ins that are distributed as a single .c file. Use of gimptool in Makefiles is strongly discouraged. There's pkg-config for this purpose. Please fix the plug-in instead.
