Re: [Bug-apl] Dynamic install location (Android related)

[Elias Mårtenson]

The install location is not available to me until the program is actually run. There are API calls to retrieve information such as the location where the installer decided to install the application, as well as the writeable directory where the application is allowed to store files.

This is not available until the application is actually started.

Elias

Hi Elias,

you could try --prefix=. to build in the current directory and set --bindir= and friends to where GNU APL shall be installed.
You need some information regarding the install directories (like /usr/bin, /usr/lib and /etc).

I need to understand better in which way Android provides the information to you (env variables?)

Another issue I have with the Android version is that when I package everything up in an Android package, the operating system gives me a working directory that could be located anywhere. Therefore I can't build the application with a known --prefix option.

Is there a way to specify (perhaps through an environment variable) the install location of GNU APL so that it's not dependent on a specific directory? If not, could such thing be added?
