Re: Default dir for application data

["Ardhan Madras" <ajhwb knac com>]

Hi,

In general GTK+ applications use GNU build system, user can configure and install it on it's specified 
directory. Usually there is a a file named "config.h" and can be override by configure script parameters. The 
"config.h" will be generated upon configure based on "config.h.in", then use the predefined macros there to 
locate your path.

Hello list

I skimmed the docs for the current stable release on gtk.org, but was 
not able to find anything relating to my problem. If for example my 
application is installed globally with DATA_DIR set to /usr/share, is 
there some function in GLib or GTK which would give me the global app 
data dir (i.e. /usr/share/MyApp) or the user owned app data dir (i.e. 
$HOME/.config/MyApp) - either as an GFile or path (gchar*)?

Thanks for your help!

Regards,
Todor
