Bug Description
Hi,
I'm trying to make a package for Archlinux but I have one issue.
All files are in /usr/share/drgeo2, and when I launch it as normal user, an error occures.
Got startup errors:
PrimitiveFa
That's because I didn't create MySketches and MyExports in /usr/share/drgeo2.
Is there anyway these files can be created in user home directory ?
Thanks for reading.

To post a comment you must log in.
The problem comes from DrGeo trying to create user folder in /usr/share/drgeo2.
There are a couple of files with a required RW access to fully exploit the DrGeo capability.
The architecture directory you mentioned is a good idea, in that case DrGeo just need a dedicated startup script whose main action will be to:
- ensure for a 'MyDrGeo' user folder with the following files copied (need of RW access)*, others files (ReadOnly) can be linked to the /usr/share/drgeo2:
Contents/Resources/
├── drgeo.changes*
├── drgeo.image*
├── locale
├── PharoV20.sources
├── UnDotum.ttf
└── wqy-microhei.ttc
MySketches
examples*
MyExports
splash.bmp*
This is a rought idea, that may need some refinement.
I hope it does not need change in DrGeo code (drgeo.image). In that case it can be done for later release.
