Aaargh! In my last reply that should have been:
AC_PREFIX_DEFAULT(/opt/mbse) change to AC_PREFIX_DEFAULT($HOME)
in configure.ac
The important point being that SETUP.sh runs first, and by the time you log
in as mbse, $HOME is already set to $MHOME_ROOT/mbse, or per your
naming, $HOMEROOT/mbse (or whatever), so that all you have to do is run
autoconf one time, and configure will pick it up and pass it along anywhere
it's used in the code.
The initial MBSE setup could be redone to make things easier for packagers.
Wasn't somebody doing a .deb? Wonder how they handled it? Have to look.
later,
