Hello I'd like to pickup discussion on this topic. Currently ::mono repository of Exherbo places all architecture-independent libraries under the $libdir (/usr/lib or /usr/lib64). I agree with answer to the bug report https://bugzilla.xamarin.com/show_bug.cgi?id=3650.
According to description from http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/manual/autoconf.html#Installation-Directory-Variables: *datadir*:The directory for installing idiosyncratic read-only architecture-independent data. *libdir*:The directory for installing object code libraries. *libexecdir*: The directory for installing executables that other programs run. >From my point of view most suitable place among these is $datadir. And if you'll look at the ::java repository you'll see that most of libraries puts their jars under /usr/share folder. So I'd like to see ::mono follow the same approach. I suspect that if we'll ask upstream for libdir patches with $libdir (set to $prefix/lib) replaced by $datadir they will accept that (at least answer should be different :) ). P.S. This mail initiated by need to write another (there is a lot of them over this repo) libdir patch for ::mono package. Cheers
