Wrong install PATHs about eflete HOT 6 CLOSED

It seems okay. Your system build tool prefix is /usr. Mine is /usr/local (check the readme file).
What errors did you get? I will check the work of dir_prefix in meson.

Is the last one working? Check out the About page. Eflete uses AUTHORS to populate About page.

Is not an error, everything installs correctly, they are just installed in a wrong directory so as the previous example I just moved manually the files in the package to be in the correct location, yes the prefix is /usr here in the package and so I think that is important because applications and icons should be then in the /usr (not in /usr/local), again its not a problem for me but I wanted to report it because maybe the prefix is wrongly read on the makefiles or something similar?

For me:
/usr/bin : contains executable programs that are part of the operating system and installed by its package manager
/usr/local/bin : default location for executable programs not part of the operating system and installed there by the local administrator, usually after building them from source

The same for applications, icons, etc

Sorry I didn't see the last comment.

Yes exactly, for me too. The problem is that eflete is built using --prefix=/usr , that's why I said they are put in the wrong place (/usr/local/)

I think you can try this easily with something like this:

./configure --prefix=/usr
make
mkdir tmpinstalldir
make DESTDIR=tmpinstalldir install
tree tmpinstalldir

probably with the previous step, you can see inside the dir "tmpinstalldir" everything installed in a /usr structure, but some files are put on tmpinstalldir/usr/local. Probably if you do --prefix=/opt they are put on tmpinstalldir/usr/local too 🤔

Ok, I get it. You say, that Eflete doesn't follow a prefix. I definitely should check this out. Thanks.

Found hardcoded paths. Solved in 411dc54.
Thanks
