On the Apple/Mac (Darwin) non-system applications get installed to
"/usr/*local*" (i.e.
"/usr/local/bin", "/usr/local/lib" and the like). As a matter of fact, Darwin
does not allow
non-system programs to install to /usr/bin, /usr/lib and the like since quite a
few years anymore.
Supposedly also on Linux non-system programs should not install their files to
/usr/bin, /usr/lib,
and the like, but rather to "/usr/*local*" (i.e. "/usr/local/bin",
"/usr/local/lib" and the like).
Question ad Linux:
Currently ooRexx on Linux installs to CMake's default which still seems to
be /usr/bin, /usr/lib
etc.
Question 1 (Linux question): should we stick to CMake's default or
explicitly install ooRexx to
"/usr/local"? (My Ubuntu PATH environment variable puts "/usr/local/" in
front of "/usr/", the
system programs!)
Question ad Apple/Mac (Darwin)
CMakeLists.txt overrules the CMake default and explicitly installs to "set
(CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX
$ENV{HOME}/Applications/ooRexx${ORX_MAJOR}" (cf. CMakeLists.txt, line #
247. This means that no
system wide installation of ooRexx is done.
Question 2 (Apple question): should the default installation be to
/usr/local, such that by
default a system wide installation takes place like on Linux?
