Then you won't * * Why not simply redefine X11BASE then if that's what you want? It * already exists.. That's not the end of the story. You (at least) also need to change the definition of ProjectRoot in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/config/site.def. Then you'll have problems with vendor binaries having /usr/X11R6 built in there. And you'll still have the problem of having the base stuff and add-ons sharing the same tree. Folks, we have been through this before, many times. It is an X issue, not a FreeBSD issue. Whatever we do to try to change it will only confuse more people (I know, I tried, and I confused the heck out of myself). The source of the problem lies is in the imake model (and config files). If someone feels strongly enough about it, go read the imake macros, and send the diff to David Dawes. As for others, please symlink /usr/X11R6 to wherever you want and be happy. ;) Satoshi To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
