Hi, I'm putting together a libraw1394-8 package to satisfy old packages (which should be fixed) is it ok to use --prefix=/opt for it? I've redefined a couple of macros for this. home:plater libraw1394-8 Thanks Dave P
No, use the library packaging policy for such matters.
What if that doesn't work? I am struggling with axis2c which is needed by Eucalyptus. Axis2c has the very annoying problem that it cannot be installed in an FHS compliant way. Fixing the axis2c code to address this issue is way out of scope. Axis2c does allow a split setup, where core libraries are in %{_libdir} and transport layer libraries are in "specialdir", where "specialdir" = $AXIS2C_HOME/lib. Now $AXIS2C_HOME can be anywhere, /opt appears to be the logical choice but I am more than happy to put it somewhere else. So, where should it live? Considering there is no getting around having "specialdir" is it even worth the effort of splitting the axis2c libraries into core libs to be installed in %{_libdir} and transport layer libs to be installed in "specialdir" Help is appreciated.
