Hello, when building the packages I want to maintain I need to define some PATH-variables for pixmaps and libraries.
What would be the appropriate way to do that? In the case of xteddy, I have to tell xteddy, where to look for the pixmaps (my version can load not only xteddy but any pixmap which is given in some strict rules). I tried autoconf. My configure.in contains the lines ... AC_DEFINE_UNQUOTED(PIXMAP_PATH, "${prefix}/include/X11/pixmaps") ... This should produce in the resulting Makefile DEFS = -DPIXMAP_PATH=\"${prefix}/include/X11/pixmaps\" \ but if configure is invoked without any arguments DEFS = -DPIXMAP_PATH=\"NONE/include/X11/pixmaps\" and if a prefix was given (configure --prefix=/usr) DEFS = -DPIXMAP_PATH=\"/usr/include/X11/pixmaps\" Is there another way to tell programs where to look for pixmaps or libraries. Is there a library which handles such problems (I want to do the following: at first search the files in "." than in the path defined by PIXMAP_PATH, may be it is reasonable to use an environment variable for further searchpath. This is a common problem in my opinion so that there might be some ready to use functions in a library.) Regards Andreas -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
