Details:
This is not a problem when using default installation prefix, I think, nor
(since the default prefix has been working so that problem has not been
obvious) is it an regression since 2.5.1.
Most likely part of the problem is in that autotools have changed since the
original freeciv implementation, and part is in freeciv implementation
changes.
Anyway, freeciv installed to custom prefix fails to find its datafiles. That's
because of DEFAULT_DATA_PATH doesn't have "$datadir/freeciv" expanded at the
right time and recursively enough.
Also, when investigating this, I noticed that CPPFLAGS has also
-DBINDIR="\"${exec_prefix}/bin\""
which, I believe, breaks the way client finds correct server binary to launch.
This might explain some of the already reported problems with client launching
the server...
