hello,
> I'm sorry, I do not know what you mean.
I'm sorry i didn't explain :)
In your script, you have
export XDG_DATA_DIRS=$PREFIX/share:$XDG_DATA_DIRS
if $XDG_DATA_DIRS doesn't exist, it expands silently
to this weird trailing ':' symbol. like this.
some people (including me) don't like silent misbehavior and set their
shell to raise an error whenever a parameter is not set (set -u).
so to me your script led to:
sh: 1: PREFIX: parameter not set
the way to fix this is to set a default while expanding
echo hello ${PLAYER:-world}
as PLAYER is unset, the default applies so the final message is
hello world
with +, you can also release a string if a variable is *actually* set.
so
echo ${HOME+HOME is set}
echo ${PLAYER+PLAYER is probably not}
will print only 'HOME is set'
i was proposing to improve the script you have in your page using those
interpolations.
export XDG_DATA_DIRS=$PREFIX/share${XDG_DATA_DIRS+:}${XDG_DATA_DIRS:-}
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$PREFIX/lib
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$PREFIX/lib/pkgconfig:$PREFIX/share/pkgconfig
export GSETTINGS_SCHEMA_DIR=$PREFIX/share/glib-2.0/schemas

i'll try to dig this way and come back to you with a complete procedure.

in mutt, it's just L.
There is a decent subset of the mutt features that are available in
evolution too and not in the other graphical MUA I tried. That's why i
choose evolution for this test. it would be nice to have some
similarities in the bindings but i don't know if it's possible.
Another reason I don't use graphical MUA even if I would like is i'm
confortable with vim so the experimental feature to have an external
editor is also something i appreciate.

marc
