Are there any way to make ports relocable? In OS X, applications are placed in Foo.app whereas shared libraries (Framework) and data are placed under /Library If Foo.app is in /Applications, then it will look at shared data in /Library whereas if Foo.app is in $(HOME)/Applications, then it will look at shared data in $HOME/Library So under OS X, applications are relocatable So are there any way to compile ports so that the binaries are relocatable (i.e. look at relative path)?
