#2 Updated by kervala almost 5 years ago

Define CHANGE_CURRENT_PATH if you want to use system default application path, define NL_ETC_PREFIX to directory where all _default.cfg files are installed and NL_SHARE_PREFIX where data are installed.

For Ryzom client, servers and tools :

NL_ETC_PREFIX should be /etc/ryzom
NL_SHARE_PREFIX should be /usr/share/games/ryzom

If CHANGE_CURRENT_PATH is defined, logs and other users data will be written in ~/.ryzom else it will use current directory from where you launched executable.
