Hi, I'm about to start modifying my program (Tux Typing) so as to allow creation of custom word lists. The gist is that I need to have modifiable files that are visible to all users. I have been told by knowledgable people that the appropriate location for these files would be /var/lib/tuxtype, similar to where databases place their files. (I presume /var/lib/tuxtype is correct if prefix is /usr, but it would be /var/local/tuxtype with the default prefix /usr/local?). Anyway, how do I specify this in an autotools-based program? The closest predefined variable seems to be "localstatedir", but the autoconf manual says it is "$prefix/var." My Debian system doesn't have either "/usr/var" or "/usr/local/var". Any suggestions?
