Quoting Christian Stimming <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
Clearly, we've found something broken with the DESTDIR part.
just to remind everyone of this: The gconf system does *not* work
with make install DESTDIR=something. I.e. the gconf system itself
claims the schemas files will not be installed correctly with
DESTDIR-install. Instead, the documentation on
http://www.gnome.org/projects/gconf/ , section "Application developer
information", explicitly states that with
package building, the packagers are expected to "disable schema
installation during the "make install" phase" and "then in the
post-install script, run something" else. In other words, it's not
directly clear whether this problem should be fixed in gnucash or is
rather a conceptual problem of gconf. Already noted in
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=330203
Well, we need to put the schema files SOMEWHERE during make install
or a packager can't post-install them, because they wouldn't exist
in the final package.
By "disable schema installation" I presume you mean, "disable installing
the schemas using gconf's schema-install mechanism", but we can still
copy them to some install-dir path on our own via a standard
automake install rule?
