So when I install kf5 libs to /opt/kf5-my-stuff/, I have to set QT_PLUGIN_PATH, XDG_DATA_DIRS, XDG_CONFIG_DIRS (and potentially PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH) to make the libraries work (if they have runtime dependencies), instead of setting only KF5DIRS=/opt/kf5-my-stuff/ , i.e. only one variable, and where I only need to know the install prefix, and not all the details ? Or, if KF5DIRS is no option, can we make it so that the build-time install location is checked first, so that a simple "make install" will lead to a working installation ?
