[maker-devel] Installation in a custom directory

[sebastien.moretti at unil.ch]

I moved maker/bin/, maker/perl/, maker/data/, maker/lib/ + LICENSE
README RELEASE
and it looks to be fine.

Thanks

> If you move it, then the executables won’t be able to locate dependencies in the …/maker/data, …/maker/lib, and …/maker/perl directories. You should really either add the location of …/maker/bin to you PATH environmental variable or at most soft link the executables somewhere else using the ‘ln -s’ command.
