Overriding GIICONFDIR and GGICONFDIR

2000-01-13 Thread John Fortin
Would there be any objection to overriding the compiled in configuration file directory with an environment variable. This would allow installation in a directory structure other than the build structure. Example: I configure and build to /e/local/user ( actually e:/usr/local on Win98 ).

Actually the whole point would be to have the registry entry in the system section so random users can't tamper with it. However, installing LibGGI as a user must also be supported, so I'd suggest we have it in the user section for now. Then if we find a reason to do something more secure we
