exec-prefic in systemwide gimprc

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello!

I have a multiplatform installation of gimp.  Though one can specify
--prefix and --exec-prefix to configure the sources and thus the
installation, the separation is not 100% clean.

The file 

        <sharedprefix>/etc/gimp/1.1/gimprc

contains the hardcoded exec-prefix which IMHO is a bad thing, since it
will be set to the last platform one installed GIMP for.  GIMP then
cannot load plugins when started on a different platform.

My workaround is to define system specific aliasesÖ

        gimp --system-gimprc <syst dep. rgimprc>

and maintain two gimprcs.

I think this should be changed.  What is your opinion?


Best Regards,
Sascha

PS: I reported this as bug #29474 but accidently thought is was closed
    by the movement of gimprc to an etc directory.
