I just was hacking on xdg to make it work on AIX 5.3 and encountered the same issues. You probably just need to apply fixes like: > +++ xdg-icon-resource (working copy) > @@ -618,7 +618,7 @@ > break > fi > done > -[ -w $xdg_global_dir ] || xdg_global_dir= > +[ -w "$xdg_global_dir" ] || xdg_global_dir= > > dot_icon_dir= > dot_base_dir= I.e. quote the var that's being tested. You may also need to add "/opt/freeware/share" to > xdg_system_dirs="/usr/local/share/:/usr/share/" However, these changes are not enough for me to get AIX working cleanly. I'll see if there's a clean non-linux-affecting patch I can submit once I succeed. -Nathan From aniket at adobe.com Mon Jul 30 03:51:07 2007 From: aniket at adobe.com (Aniket Ray) Date: Mon, 30 Jul 2007 16:21:07 +0530 Subject: [Portland] Statically linkable library Message-ID: <3C120A56EB090A4F981219AF7A98AB071B70A7@INDIAMAIL.corp.adobe.com> Hi, I wanted to know whether there are any plans to create a statically linkable library for the utilities provided by xdg-utils command line.

I'm not sure I understand the question: All XDG utilities are shell scripts, so there's no need to make them static.

Accessing the shell from within the code and running scripts without the user's knowledge is not the best thing to do. There's also a scope for injection attacks against the software by malicious parties (if calls to the shell are made from within the code). Secure deployment of the shell scripts is also an issue. These problems would certainly make a static library better suited for my needs. > >> The problem that we are facing with the DAPI interface is that the DBUS >> is not currently deployed on a vast number of present day Linux >> installations.

DAPI is the desktop API (available at webcvs.freedesktop.org/portland/portland/dapi/). But I gather that it uses DBUS for communication and adds more functionality. So I wanted to know whether there are any plans for providing the functionality of xdg-utils in a static library. Thanks, Aniket Ray
