1. Xinit 1.4.1
Can anyone expain why we have to use the parameter
"--with-xinitdir=/etc/X11/app-defaults" for Xinit?
Hmm, I can answer this one (because I did it). Back in 2006, XFree86 and
Xorg were each installed as a single package. When 6.9 and 7.0 were
release simultaneously, Xorg-7.0 was suddenly 280+ packages. I tried to
mimic the original monolithic install locations as closely as possible.
That's because I find that the folder "/etc/X11/app-defaults/xinitrc.d" is not created while some
applications will install thier "sh" files to "/etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d". As a result, those
"sh" files will not be read by Xinit program.
I'm not sure that a .d directory for app-defaults has ever been
mentioned previously. How does it work, and what would be installed
there by default from BLFS?
2. Qt
The instruction "cat >> /etc/ld.so.conf << EOF" can be changed to "cat >
/etc/ld.so.conf.d/qt5.conf".
ld.so.conf.d is not installed by default. It is optional, therefor we
cannot depend on that directory existing. I think I'd agree that this
should be default at this point. Let's see what others think.
3. KDE Frameworks 5 Pre-installation Configuration
In the section "Installing in /opt", I think the follow lines are missing for the file
"/etc/profile.d/qt5.sh":
pathappend /usr/lib/qt5/plugins QT_PLUGIN_PATH
pathappend /usr/lib/qt5/qml QML2_IMPORT_PATH
I'm unfamiliar with this, but there might be some changes coming to
unify the instructions between /usr and /opt installs...which reminds me
that I never bugged that.
