Lazarus install directory cannot be customized

Original Reporter info from Mantis: DonAlfredo @DonAlfredo

• Reporter name: Alfred

Description:

The Lazarus Makefile contains the following:

LAZARUS_INSTALL_DIR=$(INSTALL_PREFIX)/share/lazarus
INSTALL_MAN_DIR=$(INSTALL_PREFIX)/share/man
ifneq ($(findstring $(OS_TARGET),win32 win64),)
LAZARUS_INSTALL_DIR=C:\lazarus
endif
ifneq ($(findstring $(OS_TARGET),freebsd),)
LAZARUS_INSTALL_DIR=/usr/local/lazarus
endif

As can be seen, the LAZARUS_INSTALL_DIR directive is hardcoded. It would be good to add something like this:

ifndef LAZARUS_INSTALL_DIR
....
endif

Additional information:

Perhaps the same is also valid for:
INSTALL_BASEDIR
