No, that was fine. I understand what you are saying. I was actually thinking that myself, I was just wondering if anyone had any easier way. It's not a big deal really, I just change the default install dirs on one port. That means that I change all of 4 lines in a Makefile, I was just wondering. Thanks anyway man.
