[Linux] Moving arch-dependent plugins out of /usr/share

(1/5) > >>

TheTuxKeeper:
Hi,

since few weeks the openSUSE Buildservice, which I use to build packages, checks LSB/FHS-compatibility and rejects the build with too many violations (only for opensuse 11.0 and current dev). So some builds failed because of the plugin binaries in /usr/share/codeblocks/plugins since usr/share is only for arch-independent things.
Today i finished the changes for this.

My changes:

* I had to change all plugin makefiles and rename the destination variable (libdir -> pluginlibdir), because i got a recursive variable ... error.
* added a new path variable to the configmanager (plugin_path_global), added the initialisation and changed the return value somewhere
* changes for the spec file and for debian
There are some things I'm not sure about:

* Is the initilisation of plugin_path_global also working on windows and os x? i just set it to data_path_global
* I moved the plugin path to /usr/lib/codeblocks/plugins, perhaps /usr/lib/codeblocks is better/enough?
EDIT:
Here's the complete patch (updated with changes for debian):
[ Patch #2529 ] patch to move plugins to /usr/lib/codeblocks/plugins

Thanks for testing and for all comments :)

SharkCZ:
I have done something similar for the Fedora packages, details are at http://cvs.fedoraproject.org/viewcvs/rpms/codeblocks/devel/. I think that a better place, where to report, is the bug tracker at Berlios.

TheTuxKeeper:
Yeah, right. The bugtracker is a better place. But since I'm not sure that everything is correct, i didn't want it to post there.
Will do the changes for debian too (forgot this) and then post it in the bugtracker. :)

SharkCZ:
Thanks and after you will submit the bug, please post its link here too.

If you have already done the changes for debian, it would be nice if you can post the patch, or send it to me via email.

Otherwise I will start patching the code I use for my repo to move the plugins libs away.
I think the subdir "plugins" should remain, because otherwise it looks like they belong to C::B's core libraries.

If I will have changed the "Makefile.am"s etc. and everything works for me, I will upload a patched version to my repo.

But I will not be at home the next week (no holidays, just work), that will not happen before next weekend, because I will not be able to react if problems occur during the next week.

EDIT:

There will be some more to do, at least split the packages into arch-dependen and arch-independend ones.
