$SCITECOPATH is wrong on Apple Silicon processors

[dertuxmalwieder]

Using the sample_teco.ini file, I found that it seems to use the wrong paths:

% pwd
/Users/tux0r/git/sciteco/src
% ./sciteco  # using the self-compiled version
Info: Added new unnamed file to ring.
Error: Datei »/usr/local/share/sciteco/lib/color.tes« konnte nicht geöffnet werden: No such file or directory

I actually wonder why it defaults to /usr/local. That also happens after make install and using the "installed" version.

Could I see your config.log please? The GNU build system (Autoconf) defaults to /usr/local/ unless you specify --prefix. The default SCITECOPATH should be relative to --datadir. Quite possibly you changed the --prefix, ran make but Autoconf did not notice it has to rebuild everything, so /usr/local was still in the old compiled objects. In this case, a make clean all, followed by make install should fix things.

btw. you can also

export SCITECOPATH=/usr/share/sciteco/lib

as a workaround. It's one of those variables initialized from the environment, just with a default used if missing (the entire process environment is imported to registers beginning with $). See also sciteco(1).

I have not modified the prefix on this machine. edit But indeed:

% make clean all
% sudo make install
% cd src
% ./sciteco

Fixed. I have no idea why!

[rhaberkorn]

If you have not modified the prefix, that means SciTECO got installed into /usr/local. Then why weren't the macros in /usr/local/share/sciteco/lib to begin with?

[dertuxmalwieder]

That's a pretty good question which I sadly can't answer.
