the default build directory is $HOME/Open-Dylan. It can be changed by
setting the OPEN_DYLAN_USER_ROOT environment variable. Actually, the
installation directory can be set independently with
OPEN_DYLAN_USER_INSTALL.

But both create a directory structure with bin, databases, lib in the
specified directory. Also, relative paths don't work (at least on my
computer, setting OPEN_DYLAN_USER_INSTALL to . end with a hello-world in
~/Open-Dylan/build/bin/hello-world).


- From README "Intermediate build products will end up in your home
directory, under a directory named "Open-Dylan/build".  Final build
targets, such as the libraries, binaries and compiler databases, will
end up in your home too, in "Open-Dylan/lib", "Open-Dylan/bin" and
"Open-Dylan/databases" respectively.""

Maybe this should be in a more prominent place in the README?

Or maybe the step 4 should better be
 (4) $ ~/Open-Dylan/bin/my-hello-world
, which would be incorrect when OPEN_DYLAN_USER_ROOT or _INSTALL is set.

Any suggestions are appreciated. The README is in
trunk/fundev/packages/unix/README (for reference).


King regards,

Hannes
