Hi,
sysconfdir is a automake/autoconf variable that is f.e. set
by ./configure --sysconfdir=/etc
Default is /etc for some packages and ${prefix}/etc for others.
datadir, likewise. Default ${prefix}/share
Documentation in Linux often assumes that the programs will be
compiled from source. I usually deploy binaries and almost never use
automake/autoconf =/
Maybe this is my Windows background, but I find that they should have
specified in the documentation what datadir and sysconfdir are. I find
it often better to explain things in documentations as if one does not
know anything.
Actually the docs say they are listed in /etc/xdg/[something] and if not
present there's a default path to use. I don't think the configdir I
was asking about quite matched his response, but I am like you and don't
use make for anything I... make. ;-) so perhaps his response is correct
as well.
