Make possible to do a portable build of XQF#252
Merged
Conversation
Make possible to do a portable build of XQF. - USE_RELATIVE_PREFIX: Make the executable looks around for its own files. - USE_FHS: Install files following the File Hierarchy Standard. This is how one can do a portable installation where the binaries are stored at the root of the install folder and the required data is searched next to them at run time: cmake -DUSE_RELATIVE_PREFIX=ON -DUSE_FHS=OFF It makes possible to build and distribute compiled binaries in a tarball. This relies on some code under the BSD license I copied from the Dæmon engine¹. I place the glue around under the CC0 1.0 license (public domain like). ¹ https://github.com/DaemonEngine/Daemon

For now there is one bug remaining, and I have no explanation for it: XQF manages to find its UI file and external images like the flag icons, but fails to load the translations. |

I fixed it, it was a stupid copy paste. Now everything works as expected. |
