Brikx

I understand your problem, and you're absolutely right
it will be fixed

thanks

You missed what I was trying to say:

Beside this "make install"-issue your program wants to have it's data in
the same folder as the executable.
This is o.k. as long as you do a local install in your home-directory.

In all distros I know the executable has to be separated from its data -
this is what
./configure --bindir=... --datadir=... is for. Some examples:

Mandriva-Linux (for games):
* bindir = /usr/games
* datadir = /usr/share/games

Debian:
* bindir = /usr/local/bin
* datadir = /usr/local/share/games

I've looked up your code a little bit, the main problem is that you have
"hardcoded" the datadir, i.e. inside file src/brikx.h:
#define DIR_DATA "data/"

This should not be a fix directory, but a variable respecting what was
given with:
./configure --datadir=...


Please fix the hardcoded datadir, I really like the idea of Brikx, and I
would like to share the game with others by building an RPM for Mandriva.

yes, make install doesn't work correctly.
for now, a simple installation script named INSTALL is available in brikx
directory, if you run it as root (or with sudo) it will install brikx, copy
the data directory and creates a startup script
in the next releases make install will be fixed
thank you for your report!

Unfortunately this bug is still present in new released version 0.4.1

* make install doesn't work properly
* The executable insists to have the game-data in the same folder as the
executable
./configure --datadir=<my folder> doesn't help

And you invented a new bug:
The permissions of the empty folder "src/data/high" is wrong. I had to do
an:
chmod +x src/data/high


Please fix your ./configure- and makefile

Yes, I know the problem, but to tell the truth, I'm not yet really
familier with automake and makefiles, I should spend some time to do it
I plan to fix that problem too, but I have several other (paid) projects,
so I have very little time for Brikx :(
