I spent quite some time trying to figure out how it might be possible to preserve most of existing behavior while also making the code honor --sysconfdir= There's no way I could find in autoconf to tell whether the use has supplied the --sysconfdir= option, so checking for that would probabaly require us to add code to parse the command line arguments passed to the configure script and see if they contain --sysconfdir=, and that seems like a lot of work for little effect. However, as far as I can see $sysconfdir should always be $prefix/etc when neither -sysconfdir= is used. So perhaps we might use: if --with-config-file= is supplied ... use it else if $sysconfdir is not $prefix/etc ... use $sysconfdir/GNUstep/GNUstep.conf else if on darwin ... use /Library/GNUstep/GNUstep.conf else use current rules based on $GNUSTEP_PREFIX _______________________________________________ Gnustep-dev mailing list Gnustep-dev@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnustep-dev
