A few remarks: - the new code is much better! - For 1.4.x, I think things like LOCALEDIR should be defined in version.C.in, so that we do not have to generate path_defines.C.in anymore. - you need a special casing for OSX for localedir (typically system_lyxdir/locale). - what is the intent of using "../share" in non-posix packagings? To make things work when the packaging was actually posix? I think we should rather alow people to use --with-packaging=posix on osx or win32, when they actually want that. The nice thing about it is that configure will set the makefile variables correctly. JMarc
