Re: [Denemo-devel] OSX build

[Nils Gey]

Still the same problem.

I want to remind you that I am not installing anything (over gub and in osx). 
Just the compiled files in a directory structure. 

A big problem I have is that I don't know how to look up the paths Denemo is 
expecting except for libs.
Is there any way to give out where a program expects /share and /etc after it 
was compiled?
I still have a feeling that GUB just ignores the configure options for prefix 
and sysconfdir.

Maybe we can do something in Denemo with a command line parameter before it 
attempts to load anything (Guile, fonts etc.)?
Or is it possible to override those paths on the commandline? (posix or as 
Denemo function?). At least I want to see how Denemo looks like in OSX once :)
