You keep thinking "KDE4, renamed" :-) Think of KF5 as standalone libs on top of Qt. Do you currently have to set a QCADIRS to use QCA, and a ATTICADIRS to use attica, and a SOPRANODIRS to use soprano? No, because: * executables are found using $PATH * libs are found using $LD_LIBRARY_PATH (and fallbacks) * plugins are found using $QT_PLUGIN_PATH * data files are found using $XDG_DATA_DIRS * global config files are found using $XDG_CONFIG_DIRS All this is "standard", while FOODIRS isn't. The -only- thing that is triggering the discussion is the "libexec" case, because there is no standard for that. But we should find a solution that builds upon on of the above standards as much as possible, rather than reintroduce big ugly FOODIRS vars ("big" = used for everything, which isn't necessary, given the above). -- David Faure, fa...@kde.org, http://www.davidfaure.fr Sponsored by BlueSystems and KDAB to work on KDE Frameworks _______________________________________________ Kde-frameworks-devel mailing list Kde-frameworks-devel@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-frameworks-devel
