I downloaded the tarball and tried to install it in my home directory.
I unpacked the tarball, changed into the glade directory, and ran
./configure --prefix=~
make; make install
Everything worked fine until 'make install' tried to stuff pixmaps into
/usr/share/glade/pixmaps; as I was not root at the time, Linux didn't
appreciate this. (I could become root easily enough, but would prefer
to keep development code and stuff out of /usr ...) All the other paths
in the generated Makefile appear to be correct (and relative to my home
directory); only the variable PACKAGE_PIXMAPS_DIR seems to ignore my
specification of --prefix; and wishes to go in /usr.
Looking in configure.in, one finds
PACKAGE_PIXMAPS_DIR="`$gnomepath --datadir`/pixmaps/${PACKAGE}"
and typing gnome-config --datadir into csh gives (surprise) /usr/share
Would it work to modify configre.in so the pixmaps go somewhere relative
to the setting of --prefix? ie
PACKAGE_PIXMAPS_DIR="$(datadir)/pixmaps/${PACKAGE}"
Or does Gnome expect to find pixmaps only where Gnome was installed (in
/usr on my system; it is a RH6.0 system with a few of the updated RPMs)
and nowhere else? It would be IMHO a bad thing if non-root users could
not install apps in their home directory when gnome is installed in the
system directory because of this reason...
This little problem also shows up in the programs GENERATED by Glade...
even though I build 'em for my home directory, they still try and stash
stuff in /usr.
Thanks,
