Location for /etc files when installing a local non-admin app

When I build an application locally and install it without admin permissions, I usually select ~/usr/local
, and let configure
take care of the rest.
Now I mean to build colordiff
, which requires modifyig its Makefile
by hand.
I know how to choose INSTALL_DIR
and MAN_DIR
, but I wouldn't know what to use for ETC_DIR
(a replacement for /etc
).
This is a sample case of a my more generic question:
What would the correct replacement for /etc
be in cases of installing apps locally with no admin permissions.
Note that I do not have permissions for /usr/local/etc
either.
