It should expand after running the xorg-macros configure so you can set prefix/datadir, but it had better be expanded before using it in another package. You wouldn't want to have package foo with --prefix=/junk and trying to pull INSTALL from /junk/share/xorg-macros/INSTALL when it's really in /usr/share/xorg-macros/INSTALL. -- Dan _______________________________________________ xorg-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.x.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg-devel
