Re: Desktop file and exec path

Hello Andreas, all,

I think most was already said in this thread.  Let me add a small nit:

Yes.  If put in a Makefile.am, you won't want the @DATADIR@ to be
expanded here, once it ends up in Makefile.  A typical way to prevent
that from happening is to write it like this:

        sed 's:address@hidden@]:$(datadir):' 
$(srcdir)/glpegsolitaire.desktop.in > glpegsolitaire.desktop.in

Cheers,
Ralf
