The application that I want to port unfortunately has a specific structure that does NOT make it possible to adhere to the practices. What is the general thing to do in such a case? As far as I can tell from the Win32 starter script for the application it insists on an application directory with the following structure INSTALL-DIR | +---- bin | +---- doc | +---- lib Any advice about this?
