Foreseeable future :) Anyway, here's the patch. It checks for the cache path starting with '/' and then prepends the installation prefix (which is already figured out elsewhere in fccfg.c) to it. This way each fontconfig installation has its own cache, plus there's a user-specific cache. This way fc-cache -v outputs: F:/e43/mingw/var/cache/fontconfig: cleaning cache directory C:/Users/LRN/.cache/fontconfig: not cleaning non-existent cache directory C:/Users/LRN/.fontconfig: not cleaning non-existent cache directory instead of: C:/Users/LRN/AppData/Local/fontconfig/cache: cleaning cache directory C:/Users/LRN/.cache/fontconfig: not cleaning non-existent cache directory C:/Users/LRN/.fontconfig: not cleaning non-existent cache directory (where F:/e43/mingw is the installation prefix). FC needs to be configured with --with-cache-dir='${localstatedir}/cache/${PACKAGE}', because otherwise LOCAL_APPDATA_FONTCONFIG_CACHE will become the default. -- O< ascii ribbon - stop html email! - <a href="http://www.asciiribbon.org" target="_blank">www.asciiribbon.org</a> _______________________________________________ Fontconfig mailing list <a href="mailto:Fontconfig@lists.freedesktop.org">Fontconfig@lists.freedesktop.org</a> <a href="http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/fontconfig" target="_blank">http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/fontconfig</a> </blockquote></div> <div> </div>-- <div class="gmail_signature">Akira TAGOH</div> </div>
