Hi, my project has some datafiles that is installed into pkgdatadir. I would however like to use the in-tree datafiles when I am developing the application.
My directory layout looks something like this
/data
/include
/src
Autoheader generates config.h with the define DATADIR (which corresponds
to pkgdatadir) and when I load a datafile I prepend DATADIR to the path:
load(DATADIR "/data/foo.dat");
This works great after installing the application but while I develop
the application it is a bit annoying to install it after each make. I
don't feel like symlinking or any other hack either.
What is the normal way to handle such situations? I mean, I can't be the
first to have this problem.
I was thinking something like a flag to configure which would set
pkgdatadir to ${top_srcdir) but it doesn't seem to be available at that
time as it always turns out empty.
