Hi!
While building Xorg 7.1 it's recommended in the book to append the
--datadir=$XORG_PREFIX/lib option to the list of ./configure's ones.
Shouldn't it be --datadir=$XORG_PREFIX/share (which is the default value
for --datadir so it can be even skipped)?
I asked because I've just seen the following in the output
of ./configure --help in libXcursor-1.1.6:
--with-icondir=<path> Set default icon directory (default:
${datadir}/icons)
If one use --datadir=$XORG_PREFIX/lib then icons will be searched for
in /usr/lib/icons. If using the default value for --datadir they will
be searched for in /usr/share/icons.
I'm sure it's /usr/share/icons where icons should be according to FHS.
So, whether I really should use $XORG_PREFIX/lib or is it a mistake?
And why --datadir should point to $XORG_PREFIX/lib instead of
$XORG_PREFIX/share? In other words, what is a reason for such an option
to be in BLFS?
