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, ...)

File layout

/usr/bin

  • estudio
  • ec
  • build

/usr/lib/eiffelstudio

/usr/share/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.
