I *think* that most, if not all, tools will honour: DESTDIR=foo make
install-tools
Don't worry about not coming up with that: the Xen makefiles are not exactly
easy to read :-) I've spent lots of time trying to figure out what they're
doing!
The alternative would be to do something like "make dist-tools" which will
install all the tools into dist/install, and you can then use the install.sh
script too initiate an install on the destination machine. I'm not sure if
you can set alternate install paths with that - you can't set DESTDIR
meaningfully. But for a "normal" install, the resulting tree should be OK.
Cheers,
Mark
