 > Didn’t you say that it uses `INSTALL_ROOT`? Or is that not used for
 staging installs, and I’m misunderstanding the whole thing? I don’t know
 anything about Qt.

 I have little idea what that variable is usually used for. Here it is
 clearly used to prepend a path to the regular prefix, *probably* indeed
 for Linux packagers. I can't say off the top of my head if the parameter
 is passed on to the inferior makefile, though.

 I meant the build step. Invoking make with `prefix=${prefix}` ought to
 take care of the hard-coded '/usr' path.

 > As Daniel suggested on macports-users, you could outright set
 `destroot.destdir` to “`INSTALL_ROOT=${destroot}`”, in lieu of my
 suggestion. Unless `INSTALL_ROOT` doesn’t actually represent a staging
 area.

 Yes, and that's probably what I'll do if that works out. That *is* simpler
 than what I was doing.
