Hi Tim,

Is it possible to have both directory structures expressible at the same
time?  We were told by the LSB to have the /opt/Omni directory structure.
However, it seems that every vendor wants to ignore that structure and
place us somewhere else.
It seems like it is easier to give up at this point.

The *.xsd files are needed in theory.  I don't know if libxml actually uses
them to validate the xml files.  They need to be one directory level up
from the xml files.  I would certainly install them.

Hrm.  You have a good point.  If I switch the prefix from /usr to /opt,
then the
directory structure will be
      /opt/bin
      /opt/lib
      /opt/share
I was trying to separate omni by having everything under /opt/Omni.  For
example,
      /opt/Omni/bin
      /opt/Omni/lib
      /opt/Omni/share
I take it that you are trying to install omni in
      /usr/bin
      /usr/lib          or /usr/lib/omni ?
      /usr/share/omni

At the top of Omni.cpp, there are two path arrays.  There is already an
entry for /usr/share/Omni.
Omni is capitalized for consistency, but I guess I need to revisit that as
well.

Yes, or /usr/share/Omni.  Our packages have used /usr/lib/Omni before,
so I'm putting libraries there too.

I see.

You'll probably want to change 'AC_INIT(omni,...)' then in
configure.ac, since that ends up setting pkgdatadir to /usr/share/omni
later on.

That's because /opt is for third-party providers, not OS vendors,
isn't it?

Yes, it certainly ought to be possible to express both at the same
time.  Just switching --prefix=/opt vs /usr ought to make sense for
both types.

Okay.  Currently I've put the XML files in ${pkgdatadir},
i.e. /usr/share/omni.  But I'm not sure where to tell Omni where to
look for them, so I expect it won't find them.  Any ideas?

Thanks,
Tim.
