Feature changed by: Alex Richardson (alerich) Feature #309389, revision 3 Title: add /usr/local to KDEDIRS openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Stefan Majewsky (majewsky) Description: By default, CMake-powered KDE apps are installed to /usr/local, but KDE won't pickup data files and configs from this directory tree because the KDEDIRS environment variable does not include /usr/local. This problem can currently be circumvented by setting the installation prefix to /usr (which is asking for trouble because of possible clashes with RPM) or by adding /usr/local to KDEDIRS manually, which is error- prone (esp. for new users). Therefore, I propose that /usr/local be included in the KDEDIRS environment variable by default (with a lower precedence than /usr, of course). + Discussion: + #1: Alex Richardson (alerich) (2010-04-27 22:59:38) + I agree completely, this was a big problem to me when I started KDE- + development ~half a year ago.
