Install failure is observed when we try to install into inplace location as non-root: ``` $ LANG=C make install DESTDIR=$PWD/__i__ V=1 RUST_LOG=warn mdbook build doc/manual -d /usr/share/doc/nix/manual 2021-08-28 13:29:58 [ERROR] (mdbook::utils): Error: Rendering failed 2021-08-28 13:29:58 [ERROR] (mdbook::utils): Caused By: Unexpected error when constructing destination path 2021-08-28 13:29:58 [ERROR] (mdbook::utils): Caused By: Permission denied (os error 13) make: *** [doc/manual/local.mk:98: /usr/share/doc/nix/manual/index.html] Error 101 ``` The change is to prefix paths with `$(DESTDIR)`. |
