OME-XML Schema

Environment

The OME C++ libraries and programs are configured and built to use a set of search paths for different components. It should not be necessary to override these defaults. The bf command will be able to autodetect the installation directory configure paths on most platforms, and the OME C++ libraries are also able to determine the paths on most platforms so long as the library search path is configured correctly. However, the following environment variables may be used to override the defaults if this proves necessary:

Installation root

OME_FILES_HOME

The root of the installation (if applicable). Setting this will allow the installation to be used in a location other than the one configured. It will also default all the following variables unless they are explicitly overridden individually. This is not useful if an absolute installation path has been configured (e.g. if using /usr/local).

Basic paths

These may be shared with other packages if configured to do so (e.g. if using /usr/local). See GNUInstallDirs for more details. Not all of these paths are currently used, but may be used in the future.

OME_FILES_BINDIR
Programs invocable directly by an end user (on the default PATH)
OME_FILES_SBINDIR
Programs invocable directly by an end user or admin (not on the default PATH)
OME_FILES_LIBEXECDIR
Programs not typically invoked directly (called internally by the OME-Files tools and libraries as needed)
OME_FILES_SYSCONFDIR
Configuration files
OME_FILES_SHAREDSTATEDIR
Shared state
OME_FILES_LOCALSTATEDIR
Local state
OME_FILES_LIBDIR
Libraries
OME_FILES_INCLUDEDIR
C and C++ include files
OME_FILES_OLDINCLUDEDIR
C and C++ include files (system)
OME_FILES_DATAROOTDIR
Read-only architecture-independent data (root)
OME_FILES_SYSDATADIR
Read-only architecture-independent data
OME_FILES_INFODIR
GNU Info documentation files
OME_FILES_LOCALEDIR
Locale data
OME_FILES_MANDIR
Manual pages
OME_FILES_DOCDIR
Documentation files

Package-specific paths

These are used by specific packages and their dependees and are not shared with other packages. They are all subdirectories under the basic paths, above.

OME_FILES_DATADIR
OME-Files data files
OME_FILES_LIBEXECDIR
OME-Files program executables
OME_QTWIDGETS_ICONDIR
OME-QtWidgets icons
OME_XML_SCHEMADIR
OME-XML model schemas
OME_XML_TRANSFORMDIR
OME-XML model transforms
