I changed my mind: the cvs version of the autotools uses datarootdir, and
it will be set correctly. The old version doesn't make use of datarootdir,
so you could set it to whatever you like, eg @datarootdir@, and it won't
make any difference. Does that make sense?
.. and the explanation is in the NEWS file of cvs-autoconf:
** Directory variables adjusted to recent changes in the GNU Coding Standards.
The following directory variables are new:
datarootdir read-only architecture-independent data root [PREFIX/share]
localedir locale-specific message catalogs [DATAROOTDIR/locale]
docdir documentation root [DATAROOTDIR/doc/PACKAGE]
htmldir html documentation [DOCDIR]
dvidir dvi documentation [DOCDIR]
pdfdir pdf documentation [DOCDIR]
psdir ps documentation [DOCDIR]
The following variables have new default values:
datadir read-only architecture-independent data [DATAROOTDIR]
infodir info documentation [DATAROOTDIR/info]
mandir man documentation [DATAROOTDIR/man]
This means that if you use any of [EMAIL PROTECTED]@', [EMAIL PROTECTED]@', or
[EMAIL PROTECTED]@' in a file, you will have to ensure `${datarootdir}' is
defined in this file.
Cheers,
Patrick
