Update of /cvsroot/plplot/plplot/bindings/tk In directory sc8-pr-cvs1:/tmp/cvs-serv26652/bindings/tk Modified Files: Makefile.am Log Message: Sane treatment of DATA_DIR and DRV_DIR The variables/#defines DATA_DIR and DRV_DIR are treated now in a more coherent and Autotools-friendly way. The main changes regard: - Use of $libdir and $datadir as prefixes of DRV_DIR and DATA_DIR, respectively, in configure.ac. This allows users to easily override the installation locations when running configure (options --libdir and --datadir). The environment variables DATA_DIR and DRV_DIR are still honored. - DRV_DIR is an absolute path now, not relative to DATA_DIR as before. Besides it being cleaner and more intuitive, the new design allows better compliance with the FHS. Indeed, architecture-independent files (like the font amd map files, as weel as examples and the Tcl stuff) go by default in $prefix/share, while driver module files (which are architecture-dependent) go in $prefix/lib. As regards final results, the only difference with the previous situation is that the *.fnt and *.map files are installed now in plplot<version>/ instead of plplot<version>/data. I did not try to keep the previous situation because it would imply in the definition of a new variable/#define. However, if the other developers have really strong arguments in favor of it, I will implement that. |
