Makefile should provide an install target

[fxcoudert]

src/Makefile should provide an install target, so that users can run make install PREFIX=/path/to/install and all binaries and libraries are installed in the right place.

Can you explain why this is required? Why not just compiling it at the place you need it?

[fxcoudert]

Say I want it in /usr/local (with binary in /usr/local/bin and man page in /usr/local/man/man1 etc.), I will not be compiling in that directory :)

Folks in bioconda already patch the makefile: https://github.com/bioconda/bioconda-recipes/blob/master/recipes/primer3/makefile.patch

Thank you for reporting this feature request. I included it in this version:
f382935
Be aware that the primer3_config folder is not required any more - if you did not modify the default values in this folder. You must also leave out the tag PRIMER_THERMODYNAMIC_PARAMETERS_PATH to use the build in parameters.

Best,
Andreas
