It would be nice if the installation layout under Unix/Linux wold be more conform to what is the default layout. This would make it easier to create packages (deb, rpm, ...)
Contents
File layout
/usr/bin
- estudio
- ec
- build
/usr/lib/eiffelstudio
Environment variables
At the moment eiffelstudio needs some environment variables set up to work correctly:
- ISE_EIFFEL
- ISE_PLATFORM
- PATH
With a default layout it would be possible to hardcode default values into the compiled binary, which would be used as fallback if the environment variable is not defined.
Resources
- Filesystem Hierarchy Standard http://www.pathname.com/fhs/
