But right now, I've a little problem because my server has a
configuration file. I thought that the best place to place it would
be the /etc folder... It seems that it's precisely the default
value of $(sysconfigdir), but I don't know if it's possible to my
server (my programm) knows this value from the header config.h.
Furthermore, the configuration file should be placed in
$(sysconfigdir) at the install process.
Please don't, that would overwrite any local changes.
So, Makefile should receive the value of $(sysconfigdir) from the
configuration process.
You can pass something like `-DCONFFILE=$(sysconfdir)/foo.conf' in
Makefile.am when compiling via foo_CPPFLAGS so that the program can
find the configuration file in the right spot.
What do you suggest ?
Not installing it, period; that is what we do for inetutils with for
example inetd which requires $(sysconfdir)/inetd.conf to work. Put a
note in the documentation, with an example configuration file. Anyone
installing a program should have read the README, INSTALL and the
manual.
