yes, but it seems that "chdir(rootDir)" just checks the existance of this path. After that, rootDir is never used to take into account rootDir (the -R parameter), xkbcomp must call XkbAddDirectoryToPath() like for example : --- origsrc/xkbcomp-1.1.1/xkbcomp.c 2009-08-06 03:49:47.000000000 +0200 +++ src/xkbcomp-1.1.1/xkbcomp.c 2010-04-06 09:31:32.360963500 +0200 @@ -553,6 +553,12 @@ parseArgs(int argc, char *argv[]) ACTION("Root directory (-R) option ignored\n"); rootDir = NULL; } + XkbAddDirectoryToPath(NULL); + if (!XkbAddDirectoryToPath(&argv[i][2])) + { + ACTION("Exiting\n"); + exit(1); + } } } else if ((strcmp(argv[i], "-synch") == 0) with : XkbAddDirectoryToPath(NULL) to clear predefined root path XkbAddDirectoryToPath(&argv[i][2]) to add the path of -R parameter Is it correct ?
