Dear all,
I could use some input for a progam I packaging at the moment, which requires two system variables to run.
1. path to binaries The documentation says, that /usr/local/program/bin/ needs to be in the PATH - variable. That shouldn't be needed, if those binaries are installed into "/usr/bin" by the package. If that doesn't work, I'll use links from "/usr/bin/"
First: "/usr/local/program/..." looks wrong (HFS), either "/usr/local/share/program/..." or "/usr/local/lib/program/..." Second: There should be a param during setup/config before compile/install to decide the BASE (defaults to /usr/local/, can be set to /usr/).
2. path to libraries Looks like this is needed: MYLIBPATHVAR is required to point to the library of the program in "/usr/lib/program/lib/" or "/usr/share/program/lib/" How do I introduce a new system wide environment variable - available for all users?
Does /etc/profile.d/... parsing still work? Should be, if yes, that would be the location, see python.* and alljava.* files there for examples. Please ask for a security review if you use this 'public' dir.
3. Compiler options for optimization [snip] Can't help there.
