That's what make does. It's working fine.

I don't understand. Why doesn't it do on on other targets like install-strip?

Install-strip is a target, and is in the [Mm]akefile on the left of a colon.

What you appear to be trying to do is run make with an environment variable "DESTDIR" set to something. Dunnon *why* you want to do that, but if that's what you want to do, set the environment up before the command:

DESTDIR=/whatever make install-strip

This is how Unix works.

(Compare the results of: echo VARIABLE=fred Variable is $VARIABLE And VARIABLE=fred echo Variable is $VARIABLE )
