> I know that glib offers a function called g_get_home_dir() which
returns the user's home folder on the relevant platform. Is there any
similar function that will give me the default folder for installing
applications? For example, on Windows this would return "C:\Program
Files". On Linux it might be "/bin" or "/usr/bin" or "/usr/local/bin"
etc. And on OS-X it would be "/Applications".

... if you like those:

const gchar *
get_unix_bin_dir ()
{static gchar dir[] = "/bin"; /* or /usr/bin, /usr/local/bin, /opt */
return dir;}

const gchar *
get_win_bin_dir ()
{static gchar dir[] = "/Program Files"; /* explorer.exe can read it,
but I am not sure it can work here */
return dir;}

const gchar *
get_macosx_bin_dir ()
{
static gchar dir[] = "/Applications";
return dir;
}

... I remember that there is a Windows API that can get it. You can
visit MSDN for that.
