Description
Problem
Many environment variables rely on a prefix that is not further explained, and it's not clear where it is defined and what value it has. In practice we observe it to be /nix.
Grepping the source one only finds one relevant occurrence in the Makefile, which defaults to /usr/local in the makefile, but this is just the location to place the build result in, and is set to $out in the Nix-based build.
Proposal
Document what prefix defaults to, and how and where it can be set.
Checklist
- checked latest Nix manual (source)
- checked open documentation issues and pull requests for possible duplicates
