This changes the directory layout to use the share subdirectory for
architecture-independent files. This is necessary to remove the
horrible kludge that would prevent anything *but* .../share to be used
for datadir, and generally brings us closer to widely used filesystem
layouts.
I'll commit Thursday if nobody objects.

Wow, that was easy. I mean, small diffstat, not the amount of work
and checking. Sorry, I don't have time to deal with this until the
weekend; guess I'll just have to trust you. :-P
What happens if you have an existing 21.5.28 installation, and then
have an attack of blondeness and install having updated to your patch?
Ie, do you just get lispy cruft in $prefix/lib/xemacs-21.5.28/$arch
that you can remove with rm -rf $prefix/lib/xemacs-21.5.28/$arch/lisp
at some later date without any problems, or is there any possibility
that that could end up on the load-path?
Also, define AC_DATAROOTDIR_CHECKED to shut up autoconf.
I'm not sure this is a good idea. Is there a reason why we can't be
datarootdir compliant (besides Just Saying No To Drugs)? If not,
shouldn't we flagellate ourselves with the warning until we are?

I did the work required to be compliant, but I couldn't get it to work
as advertised in the autoconf manual. (I.e. datarootdir would always be
empty, and datadir wouldn't get defined in terms of it.)

Hi Mike!
You might want to take a look at how we did this in SXEmacs. Our
datarootdir and datadir get defined to the correct value. Also, we
switched to a FHS-compliant[1] install layout back in November last year.
It's been going great since... very few hiccups, so, in the unlikely
event that you run into any problems, we've probably already solved it
for you. :-)
Check the X-Arch-Repo header of this message for my tla repo. If you
don't have tla, Steve T does. And if all else fails, I'll be happy to
cut a snapshot tarball for you (just let me know).

YES !!!! For some reason I seem to recall that I raised the issue

lib/ to share/ would have an impact on end users.
I have two questions:
1/ does the package system search for share/ and then lib/, or did you
just discard lib/ (that would be rude) ?
2/ I install my packages from CVS. Did you modify the infrastructure to
install in share now ?

Note that I'm perfectly fine with the (that would be rude) part...

How do you do that?
From the CVS tree, "make && make install". There is a set of
Makefiles
there, and a configuration file named Local.rules. I also have
"symlink = t" in that file to perform an "ln -s"-only installation.
I believe the only thing to modify in Local.rules to comply with an
installation in share/ is the variable XEMACS_INSTALLED_PACKAGES_ROOT
that should be set to /usr/local/share/xemacs. This is what I have been
doing for years.
> Did you modify the infrastructure to install in share now ?
Probably not---I don't even know what infrastructure you're using :-)
Now you know :-)
One last thing: I'm concerned with the situation where people use both
21.4 and 21.5. Will they need to duplicate their installed packages ?

Hello Mike,
I've recompile 21.5 today, and I have noticed that XEmacs is not capable
of finding the packages anymore when run from its compilation place,
without installation (that's what I usually do). A properly "make
install"'ed XEmacs finds them correctly however.
If I configure with
--with-package-path=\
/usr/local/share/xemacs/site-packages\
:/usr/local/share/xemacs/mule-packages\
:/usr/local/share/xemacs/xemacs-packages
even a non installed XEmacs finds the packages correctly. I think that's
a bug right ?

Hello Mike,
I've recompile 21.5 today, and I have noticed that XEmacs is not capable
of finding the packages anymore when run from its compilation place,
without installation (that's what I usually do). A properly "make
install"'ed XEmacs finds them correctly however.
What's the output of running with -debug-paths? What's the directory layout?

Correction: when XEmacs is "make install"'ed, the in-place version
works fine also.
What's the output of running with -debug-paths? What's the
directory layout?
OK, here's a precise description of what's going on:
- XEmacs sources: /usr/local/src/xemacs-21.5
- XEmacs build: /usr/local/src/xemacs-21.5-build
- Packages: /usr/local/share/xemacs/
- Installation file: attached below
After compilation, if I run /usr/local/src/xemacs-21.5-build/src/xemacs,
the packages are not found. The output with -debug-paths is:

After "make install" however, BOTH the installed version and the
in-place one work fine (that's what I got wrong in the first mail).

Ah, I believe it's rejecting the package directory because there's no
"lib/xemacs" subdirectory. Does the attached patch help?

I've committed this one. Thanks for trying it out, Didier!
