Currently, the plan is to have something like this for common files (bin/doc/include/lib):
└───Program Files [and Program Files (x86)]
└───Common Files -- already present in Windows installations
└───CoApp **** -- Common parent for all shared components
├───bin -- directory for shared tools & utilities
├───doc -- container directory for common
documentation
├───include -- container directory for library include
files
├───resources -- container directory resources associated
with a component
└───lib
I'm starting to think the CoApp directory is redundant, and just a waste of
space and time.
If we dropped it, the result is:
└───Program Files [and Program Files (x86)]
└───Common Files -- already present in Windows installations
├───bin -- directory for shared tools & utilities
├───doc -- container directory for common documentation
├───include -- container directory for library include files
├───resources -- container directory resources associated with
a component
└───lib
This makes it a little less cumbersome, and I highly doubt we'll see any
collision in there anyway.
I like this a bit better, because in the Program Files folder, CoApp would be
considered the name of a "Publisher", not the "System".
Some sample paths:
% ProgramFiles%\common files\bin\grep.exe
% ProgramFiles%\common files\include\zlib\zlib.h
Hmm. This leads to wondering if we really need "common files" in the middle.
I've never seen bin/lib/doc/include in program files...
Comments?
