Note that when I rebuilt libXt, I passed --prefix=/usr but omit to pass --sysconfdir=/etc, that's why we have /usr/etc/X11 instead of /etc/X11, I would expect most of the libXt packaged on various distro to have /etc/X11/, /usr/share/X11 and /usr/lib/X11 as default paths. >> Thus, if I call 'gxditview' freshly installed from groff sources, the >> file installed in /usr/X11/lib/X11/app-defaults/GXditview is not >> found. > > Does `install' make all those directories or does > /usr/X11/lib/X11/app-defaults exist and what else is in it? On my system, /usr/X11/lib/X11/app-defaults does not exist. groff's 'make install' creates all these directories. >> So it seems to me that we should move GXditview into >> /usr/share/X11/app-defaults/ > > Seems fair enough to switch to x.org's default, though it might create > work for packagers; that might be taking out what they had to override > groff's default. As long as we keep the --with-appresdir option, packagers would not have extra work. As said previously, Arch linux uses --with-appresdir=/usr/share/X11/app-defaults, and it seems that Debian (https://packages.debian.org/jessie/groff) passes --with-appresdir=/etc/X11/app-defaults to configure.
