#2119: Wrong datadir for xorg 7.1 : -> --datadir=$XORG_PREFIX/lib" --------------------+------------------------------------------------------- Reporter: EdB | Owner: [email protected] Type: task | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: 6.2 Component: BOOK | Version: SVN Severity: normal | Resolution: Keywords: | --------------------+------------------------------------------------------- Comment (by [EMAIL PROTECTED]):
The datadir switch controlls other items as well, namely the location of some of the packages' default config files and fonts installation. I can't recall exactly why that was chosen, but no doubt it was my doing. What we have now, I believe, is the most consistent way to do things for 200 packages. I personally would rather keep the X installed files completely separate from the rest of the system given the possibility of installing to an alternate prefix. The ACLOCAL_FLAGS solution above is probably best. I don't have an X6 installation to check against, but I don't recall a share directory in /usr/X11R6/ either. Now, for a /usr installation, moving the files would be perfect, but that complicates difficult instructions even more. -- Ticket URL: <http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/ticket/2119> BLFS Trac <http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs> Beyond Linux From Scratch -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-book FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
