[comp.windows.x] Installing X in a non-standard place

steve@lia (Stephen Williams) (04/18/91)

I have a gripe about XmuLocateBitmapFile.  I installed X in a destdir
other then root.  All the paths for all the applications are in general
properly adjusted to search in this destdir.  For example, Xsun looks
in /lia/X11r4/usr/lib/X11 for the rgb database.

XmuLocateBitmapFile looks in /usr/include/X11/bitmaps, and NOT
/lia/X11r4/usr/include/X11/bitmaps.  It looks like all that is missing
is the define -DBITMAPDIR=\"$(DESTDIR)/usr/include/X11/bitmaps\"
in the Imakefile to work correctly.

Is there a patch for this, or should I do this myself and make a patch?
Where do I report this problem?
