BBTOPDIR and BBHOME
list Stef Coene
Hi, I wanted to build a client and put in a directory. But all files are placed in a subdirectiry called client. This is hardcoded in the confgure and Makefile scripts. In the Makefile are 2 vaiabele defined: BBTOPDIR and BBHOME. BBHOME = $BBTOPDIR/client. Changing these variabele is not enough because the client subdirectory is also hardcoded in other places. So in some places (for instance the clientlaunch.cfg) BBTOPDIR/client is used, this should be BBHOME. I changed all files and removed the client directory dependency. It's working now. But maybe it's a better idea to change the configure and install scripts and use the variabele BBHOME and BBTOPDIR. Stef

yes, client is a subdirectory and when you install the server it is put in a subdirectory called server. How are you going to handle that when you install the server and client on the same machine?. After all, it's just one level... =G=

I install the hobbit client together with other tools and perl stuff in the same directory. So I put the hobbit client in a directory called hobbit-client, not client. But anyway, I still find it not correct to define 2 variables in the Makefile and not use them. A fix is easy, remove all references to the client subdirectory and replace them with $BBHOME. Stef
