Description Paul Menzel 2016-07-01 13:17:35 UTC
Despite using the configure line below, for example, the executables and manual pages are installed in `/usr/lib/`.

```
/dev/shm/bee-root/libreoffice/libreoffice-5.1.3.2-0/source/configure --prefix=/usr --bindir=/usr/bin --sbindir=/usr/sbin --libexecdir=/usr/libexec --sysconfdir=/etc --sharedstatedir=/var --localstatedir=/var --libdir=/usr/lib --includedir=/usr/include --datarootdir=/usr/share --datadir=/usr/share --infodir=/usr/share/info --localedir=/usr/share/locale --mandir=/usr/share/man --docdir=/usr/share/doc/libreoffice --exec-prefix=/usr --enable-verbose --enable-release-build --disable-dconf --with-help --with-lang=de --with-jdk-home=/usr/local/java --with-ant-home=/package/mariux64/ant --with-system-openssl --without-junit --without-doxygen --disable-odk --disable-epm --enable-python=internal
```

By default, running `make install` should put the files into the locations as defined in the FHS [1].

The correct Wikipedia link:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_Hierarchy_Standard

No opinion about this, but if chasing it screws up ability to run installs in parallel, it is not especially appealing.

To speed things up, maybe ask at the dev list: https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice

This can be seen as a build issue and they should all go to the list: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/BugReport#Not_all_bugs_go_to_Bugzilla

As Buovjaga mentioned, this is an issue compiling the software, not in the software itself. Please ask in the dev mailing list.
