Hi,
What comes to having datalocation path variable in the .pro file:
I was having similar thoughts when I wanted to install something in the
writable storage location, but I was corrected. Nothing should be installed in
the home directory with the application, but under application directory
/usr/share/harbour-yourappname/. There can be also subdirs under that location.
Then, at runtime, you can create the writable storage location if it does not
exist, and copy or create stuff there. Preferably the app would not pre-install
any data, but everything would be downloaded / created runtime. That would be
the ideal though, not always applicable.
