Comment 1 oklaspec 2019-11-19 07:50:24 UTC

This problem exists even for this command (with MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX=/usr/obj):

```
make MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX=/usr/obj DESTDIR=/home/rj/RELENG_12_1.tmpl distrib-dirs distribution
```

However for this command (with unspecified MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX variable) it works fine as expected:

```
make DESTDIR=/home/rj/RELENG_12_1.tmpl distrib-dirs distribution
```

Comment 2 Mark Millard 2019-11-20 04:29:12 UTC

(In reply to oklaspec from comment #1)

Quoting the build man page:

     MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX  Defines the prefix for directory	names in the tree of
		       built objects.  Defaults	to /usr/obj if not defined.
		       This variable should only be set	in the environment or
		       /etc/src-env.conf and not via /etc/make.conf or
		       /etc/src.conf or	the command line.

Note that last: not to be set in the command line (after "make"). So:

make MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX=/usr/obj DESTDIR=/home/rj/RELENG_12_1.tmpl distrib-dirs distribution

is inappropriate. Possibly presuming a specific shell type:

env MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX=/usr/obj make DESTDIR=/home/rj/RELENG_12_1.tmpl distrib-dirs distribution

would be appropriate (set in the environment) . You may wat to try that.

Thanks, I have sh script so `export` works fine for me. I did not tried using `env` but it must works too.
