Don't default to a non-standard terminfo install location #698

dnkl commented 2021年08月29日 11:11:11 +02:00

The meson command line option -Dcustom-terminfo-install-location has been changed in the following ways:

• If unset, the $datadir/terminfo is used, and TERMINFO is not exported
• If set, that value (relative to $prefix) is used, and TERMINFO is exported.
• The special value no is removed.

The defaults have been updated; -Dcustom-terminfo-install-location is unset by default, meaning terminfo is installed to ${datadir}/terminfo, and foot does not export TERMINFO.

TODO:

• Update INSTALL.md
• Automatically generate the correct file names for the terminfo definitions, if -Ddefault-terminfo is set.
• Remove or update documentation of TERMINFO from the foot.1 and footclient.1 man pages.

Closes #695
