How do you deal with lack of being able to just point to "/usr/lib/include" or other things when saying "here's my directory of shared libs"?
This is definitely interesting though, and an improvement I would say
- JonathonW 5y agoGoboLinux symlinks everything into an FHS-ish structure under /System/Index/ so you still have a single place where binaries/libraries/includes/etc. live. (There are also symlinks from /usr/lib, /usr/bin, and others into /System/Index/ for compatibility with programs where those might be hardcoded.)
- short12 5y agoThat actually seems like some low hanging fruit to go on a commit spree correcting code that hard codes paths
- oblio 5y agoGoboLinux is old enough to vote in most countries. So either those low hanging fruits are higher than they seem, or we're all just a bunch of dwarves. My bet is on the second option.
- matheusmoreira 5y agoIt is low hanging fruit as far as the software is concerned. Simply parameterize all paths. Will upstream accept such patches though? Sounds unlikely to me.
