Because Firebird expects everything in one dir. |
| 26 |
Currently /usr/share/firebird. All paths are relative to that. I had to |
| 27 |
modified relative paths by adding ../../../ to all paths. So |
| 28 |
that ../../../ = / ideally. Although I think it's going to break in some |
| 29 |
cases like chroots or etc. That way when it's base |
| 30 |
in /usr/share/firebird, it can find stuff |
| 31 |
in /etc/firebird, /usr/bin, /var/run/firebird, /var/log/firebird, etc. |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
So what happens is during build, those relative paths have the build |
| 34 |
system looking outside of the workdir. I create dirs and symlinks so the |
| 35 |
build system can find stuff inside the workdir, despite paths being |
| 36 |
outside of it. |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
It's not pretty, maybe not ideal. But was the only way I could think of |
| 39 |
to get things building, and allow for splitting up Firebird during |
| 40 |
install per FHS. Without breaking runtime either. |
| 41 |
|
| 42 |
Totally open for other suggestions and ideas of how to accomplish this. |
| 43 |
I will provide feedback and info to upstream. So hopefully over time |
| 44 |
this can be changed, and the hack of symlinks won't be needed during |
| 45 |
build. |
