In this case, should I put the binary into /usr/libexec? Without actually having looked at it, I'd say that the above would work, and I have a few packages that do this, but it's preferable to patch the app to use the correct locations. You may be able to patch configure.in. If not, try grepping the source for the data dir, and make a set of patches to get it to look in the right spot, and do the above move. There are several on this list with the skills to help with specifics if needed. > For future releases, it would probably be wise to work with the > upstream developers to make the simulator easier installable in > various directory configurations. +1Brillion > -- > Joonas Sarajärvi > muepsj@xxxxxxxxx > > _______________________________________________ > Fedora-games-list mailing list > Fedora-games-list@xxxxxxxxxx > http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-games-list > -- novus ordo absurdum _______________________________________________ Fedora-games-list mailing list Fedora-games-list@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-games-list
