Yes. But there is a nearly distribution-wide way to use /etc/profile.d (Gentoo has also /etc/env.d). > As far as I understand an installer cannot even rely on /usr/local being a > fully accepted prefix and I think that's the default for autoconf/make uses. We have tried to accept /usr/local as much as possible. If you define following variables and extend following files, you can place to /usr/local and /opt/myprefix nearly everything. PATH INFODIR INFOPATH MANPATH PKG_CONFIG_PATH XDG_CONFIG_DIRS XDG_DATA_DIRS GTK_PATH GNOME2_PATH /etc/ld.so.conf /usr/share/aclocal/dirlist FHS seems to lack /usr/local/etc, or /etc/local. We are using /usr/local/etc, which is the default of configure without arguments. OT: In past I have tried to write something like prefix manager - scripts for managing prefixes using one central file - /etc/prefixes, standard autoconf pathspec - $prefix/etc/config.site or $prefix/share/config.site and add-on.prefix configuration. http://ftp.penguin.cz/pub/users/utx/build/build-0.09.tar.gz "find -name '*prefix*'" there Part of (dead) OSBuilder project: http://www.penguin.cz/~utx/osbuilder -- Best Regards / S pozdravem, Stanislav Brabec software developer --------------------------------------------------------------------- SuSE CR, s. r. o. e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Drahobejlova 27 tel: +420 296 542 382 190 00 Praha 9 fax: +420 296 542 374 Czech Republic http://www.suse.cz/ _______________________________________________ xdg mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xdg
