Merge #17934: doc: Use CONFIG_SITE variable instead of --prefix option
223b1ba7d90509a47ea07af46f4b9c3b8efbc9f8 doc: Use CONFIG_SITE instead of --prefix (Hennadii Stepanov) Pull request description: The current examples of `--prefix=...` option usage to point `configure` script to appropriate `depends` directory is not [standard](https://www.gnu.org/prep/standards/html_node/Directory-Variables.html). This causes some [confusion](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/16691) and a bit of inconvenience. Consider a CentOS 7 32 bit system. Packages `libdb4-devel`, `libdb4-cxx-devel`, `miniupnpc-devel` and `zeromq-devel` are unavailable from repos. After recommended build with depends: ``` cd depends make cd .. ./autogen.sh ./configure --prefix=$PWD/depends/i686-pc-linux-gnu make ``` a user is unable to `make install` compiled binaries neither locally (to `~/.local`) nor system-wide (to `/usr/local`) as `--prefix` is set already. Meanwhile, the standard approach with using [`config.site`](https://www.gnu.org/software/automake/manual/html_node/config_002esite.html) files allows both possibilities: ``` cd depends make cd .. ./autogen.sh CONFIG_SITE=$PWD/depends/i686-pc-linux-gnu/share/config.site ./configure --prefix ~/.local make make install ``` or ``` CONFIG_SITE=$PWD/depends/i686-pc-linux-gnu/share/config.site ./configure make sudo make install # install to /usr/local ``` Moreover, this approach is used in [Gitian descriptors](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/tree/master/contrib/gitian-descriptors) already.
