In configure.in sysconfdir is setup like this
dnl Force sysconfdir=/etc if no --sysconfdir=xxx passed
dnl
if test $sysconfdir = $\{prefix\}/etc; then
sysconfdir=/etc/${PACKAGE}
else
sysconfdir=$sysconfdir/${PACKAGE}
fi
AC_SUBST(sysconfdir)
This forces /etc/denemo to be the config directory. The gnu default is
to put it in $(prefix)/etc/denemo. To change the location of sysconfidir
it has to be passed as an argument to ./configure. Normally the user
expects to do ./configure --prefix=/home/username but instead has to do
./configure --prefix=/home/username --sysconfdir=/home/username
There was a bug report about this a while back. Do you guys think we
should change it? If we do then the default will place configure files
in /usr/local/etc/denemo. This is supposedly the gnu standard.
