Here's how Manuel Bilderbeek does it, which is for a large part how things will be done in the future when there is such a 'make install'. -I created a directory with the name .openMSX in my home dir. This is one of the -directories that openMSX looks in, to find the (default) settings.xml, romdb.xml -(a ROM database to identify ROM mapper types) and msxconfig.xml (an MSX Machine -configuration file that is loaded by default). So, this directory contains -settings and other user specific openMSX files. It also contains the machine -configurations, in the subdirectory share/machines/. The name of this -subdirectory is important: openMSX searches here for those machine -configurations. In this share/machines/ directory, all machines have their own -subdirectory. I created my personal MSX configuration (see below) in the -directory mymsx/ under /share/machines/. Note that hardware configurations -should have the name 'hardwareconfig.xml' in these machine directories. Also the -ROM files needed for those machines should be put in their own directories.
