Thread: The desirable position of installation path arrangement of SUSE.

Hi.

Preparation of SUSE-10 package creation by Ishikawa-san with me.
However, we worry about installation path arrangement of a package...

The plan was considered as follows.

/usr/local/bin/
                   pgadmin3
                   pgagent
/usr/local/share/
                   pgadmin/i18n
...

but, As for this, pgadmin3 cannot find a share files.
Can someone suggest a proper installation path?

Hiroshi Saito

Please use RPM macros while building SuSE package. I'm not sure but it
may be %{_bindir} (which is /usr/bin), %{_datadir}/pgadmin3 (which
is /usr/share/pgadmin3), etc.

/usr/local dir is **not** for RPM packages; please do not use that
directory.

See you.

Cheers,

Can you set DATA_DIR when you run configure? That should do the trick. If not, the paths are calculated in
$SRC/src/base/appbase.cpp- you can see there how it figures out where things are. 

SUSE is an RPM based distro though isn't it? Please use/modify the existing redhat spec file if possible rather than
creatinga new one.

Ooops, I was just going to do injustice..!
Is it as follows?
/usr/bin/pgadmin3
..
/usr/share/pgadmin3/i18n

Could pgadmin3 find i18n directory then?

My time spent with you was very pleasant.:-)
