Hi! You are right!

Now I try to explain my questions better ;)

I have a desktop file like this:

glpegsolitaire.desktop
------------------------------------------------------------------
[Desktop Entry]
Name=Peg Solitaire
Comment=A "Peg Solitaire" for Gnome
Exec=glpegsolitaire
Icon=glpegsolitaire.png
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Categories=GNOME;Game;BoardGame
StartupNotify=true

------------------------------------------------------------------

and I want that if  I give the command  "make install" the path in the 
Exec field will be replaced by the value of the $(datadir)  variable. Is 
this possible?

Many thanks for the help!
