Hi,
I noticed in virt-manager, it has an exec on /usr/bin/python. In FreeBSD,
this is /usr/local/bin/python. Is there a way I can change this either
through a configure flag at build time, or patch a Makefile?
Not at the moment.
Doh!
Hmm, the system python binary is under /usr/local? That doesn't seem right,
/usr/local is supposed to be where things go when a user installs things by
hand. For example none of the software the Fedora distributes put anything in
/usr/local, but by default ./configure && make install for most software roots
things under /usr/local.
If freebsd is really doing that, it would probably require some makefile and
configure tweaking to work on both platforms. Are you just trying to get
virt-manager working personally, or packaging it (whatever that entails) to be
distributed with freebsd?
Both. The default for FreeBSD is to install to /usr/local, as no software in
our ports collection is part of our base operating system. Having
configurability would be optimal.
One more bit. NLS on FreeBSD is installed to /usr/local/share/locale, and
noticed in the po/Makefile:
libdir = ${exec_prefix}/lib
DATADIRNAME = lib
itlocaledir = $(prefix)/$(DATADIRNAME)/locale
I was wondering what flag I could use to get NLS to go to
/usr/local/share/locale and not /usr/local/lib/locale

I'm not entirely sure I follow, but I'd try playing around with --libdir or
--datadir.
I figured I would do that, but would this change the installation path of
anything else?
Thanks!
