Re: configure: add --with-fontfir (try3) with patch!

[StartCom Ltd.]

I would like to through in my support for Vitaly on this issue (and maybe similar ones) which happen to be the source of some discussions lately (rpath was one, I think). More configuration options makes wine to be more easy configured, build and adjusted, making it more scalable....Distribution based patches should be the last resort - not the first. If a configure option, such as in this case can be so easily implemented, it should supported...As long as it hard coded during make, than there should be a configuration option for this (font path) but also others....

I don't think we want to hardcode more paths, I've just been getting rid of them. I told about fontdir = $(datadir)/fonts/wine line in fonts/Makefile.in. It is _hardcoded_ path. I try to get rid of this and get possibility to set path to fontdir with configure options. It's not less hardcoded if it's in configure... You still I planned place _default_ path to configure. With --with-fontdir option we can set it to any other place. If we have this path hardcoded in fonts/Makefile.in we can't use it from other places of WINE tree. haven't explained what you are trying to do, and why you can't put fonts in datadir. I don't like WINE fonts in %_datadir/fonts/wine, I it crossed with ALT Linux font policy and so on. I have a small patch to check the font dir after C: \\WINDOWS\\FONTS for bitmap/ttf fonts. It patch needs in @FONTDIR@ substitution in Makefile. Sorry if I can't express my thoughts in English clearly.
