using the --sysconfdir seems to be the correct solution.

Well, I see that on denemo.org it tells us to use --sysconfdir= a local directory. I don't know whether this is standard stuff

Worse: I am trying with the latest git and get:
...
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/rshann/git-denemo/localbuild'
make[2]: Entering directory `/home/rshann/git-denemo/localbuild'
test -z "/etc/denemo" || /bin/mkdir -p "/etc/denemo"
/usr/bin/install -c -m 644 '../denemo/denemo.conf' '/etc/denemo/denemo.conf'
/usr/bin/install: cannot remove `/etc/denemo/denemo.conf': Permission denied
make[2]: *** [install-dist_sysconfDATA] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/rshann/git-denemo/localbuild'
make[1]: *** [install-am] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/rshann/git-denemo/localbuild'
make: *** [install-recursive] Error 1

There have been no changes to the Makefile.am here for quite a while...

Can someone with some autoconf expertise step in and help?

I have just installed denemo 0.8.18 with the /usr/local prefix.
(This is the default when I build the sources myself with ./configure;make; and install with make install.)

When starting denemo, I get this:

fluidsynth: error: Failed to load SoundFont "/usr/share/denemo/soundfonts/A320U.sf2"

    • (denemo:4089): WARNING **:

Failed to load the soundfont

-----------------------------------

My point is that it's trying to load stuff from /usr/share/denemo, when it's installed in /usr/local/share/denemo.

This is a debian lenny/squeez/sid hybrid system, but I don't think that matters a lot.

I have tried both 0.8.18 and the upcoming 0.8.20 from SVN, and both version had the same behavior.

As a work-around, I just symlinked /usr/share/denemo to /usr/local/share/denemo on my system, and this made this error disappear, but I think this should be fixed.

Thank you:

Kristof
