It is exposed everywhere where you install Xen into a non-default directory by specifying the prefix to configure.

Signed-off-by: Christoph Egger<Christoph.Egger@xxxxxxx>This looks reasonable but can you explain what goes wrong when, without this ? I'd like to be able to verify the bug and fix myself.AFAICT the default PREFIX for qemu-xen is /usr/local and we pass --bindir, --datadir (as Xen specific paths, like /usr/lib/xen/bin) but not --prefix. It looks like this covers most stuff but results in a smattering of stuff getting installed under /usr/local: $ find dist/install/usr/local/ | grep qemu dist/install/usr/local/libexec/qemu-bridge-helper dist/install/usr/local/share/man/man8/qemu-nbd.8 dist/install/usr/local/share/man/man1/qemu.1 dist/install/usr/local/share/man/man1/qemu-img.1 dist/install/usr/local/share/doc/qemu dist/install/usr/local/share/doc/qemu/qemu-tech.html dist/install/usr/local/share/doc/qemu/qemu-doc.html dist/install/usr/local/share/doc/qemu/qmp-commands.txt dist/install/usr/local/etc/qemu dist/install/usr/local/etc/qemu/target-x86_64.conf (there is also some ocaml stuff under there it seems...) I'm not quite sure that installing those into our $PREFIX is correct either though -- there seems like the possibility of clashing with a non-Xen install of qemu, so we might be better off moving these to e.g. $PREFIX/doc/xen/qemu/ and adding "xen" in the man page path etc? (the binaries corresponding to those manpages are in /usr/lib/xen/bin/) Perhaps qemu.1xen ? I don't know what dist/install/usr/local/etc/qemu/target-x86_64.conf is but it is empty here. I suspect Xen does not use dist/install/usr/local/libexec/qemu-bridge-helper or it should be in /usr/lib/xen/bin.
