Dear Andreas,
Great, thank you very much! I just realised that this works for any
data in x-ozlib://. For example, I created a test file $OZHOME/cache/
x-ozlib/myfile.xml (i.e. not in ~/.oz) and
{Resolve.localize 'x-ozlib://myfile.xml'}
returned the correct path -- wow!
Just mkdir -p $OZHOME/cache/x-ozlib and put your functors there.
ozmake kindly supports the option --prefix, which makes it even
simpler / more clean.
Best
Torsten

As far as I understand, 'x-ozlib://' is a platform independent path

Yes?

'x-oz' points into Mozarts installation directory, but naturally we
don't want to store user functors there...
I think the story is a different one. The environment variable
OZ_SEARCH_LOAD (or OZ_LOAD or OZLOAD) determines
where functors are searched, defaulting to
'cache='#OZ_DOTOZ#'/cache'#[PATH_SEPARATOR]#
'cache='#OZ_HOME#'/cache'
(see share/lib/init/Prop.oz).
So unless the user has one of these environment variables set,
any functor is first looked for in ~/.oz/1.3.2/foo,
and if that fails, in $OZHOME/cache/foo.
Just mkdir -p $OZHOME/cache/x-ozlib
and put your functors there. Of course, this
allows users to override your global installation.
Gruss,
Andreas
