insight build and datadir...

- Subject: insight build and datadir...
I'm wondering where I ought to complain about this. Probably not here, but:
One problem with the insight build with non-standard locations mentioned
earlier, is that various incarnations of Makefile.in have
TCL_LIBRARY = @datadir@/tcl$(VERSION)
I think you should *never* use configure symbols like that - i.e.
combine them with other text, or assign it to a differently named
variable. It makes tasks like building RPMs a lot harder, and also leads
to Makefiles that are generally messy. IMO, you should *always* write
datadir=@datadir@
TCL_LIBRARY = $(datadir) /tcl$(VERSION)
or similar. I'm just wondering how to make everyone understand this...
This is not a problem unique to insight (far from it)...
Comments, anyone?
