Celestia Forums

any possibility to make celestia loading the celestia.cfg and the start.cel from the home dir of the actual user on a linux system?
i know it's possible to change the install target dir and install celestia at any place, but IMHO it's no clean to install a program in a home dir.

well, this topic was discussed in february... just search for
"unix home directory cfg" -- I still don't know how to include thread
links in my posts...

Celestia does not follow the conventions for "standard" unix installations...

ok my fault, never thought looking in a thread named "glut(no-menu)interface" for that information.

and never tried anything besides the "--prefix" - option and was not really what i was looking for.
even the configure help doesn't looki promising to me, but i might be wrong here, so i will have a closer look on that later when i am not as tired as now.

anyway thanks for the answer

As a cross check,

I just did the 'obvious': "celestia.cfg AND unix" to be left with just four posts to check out ...

Dont' we all have to develop a certain expertise to exploit search engines in these "modern times" ?

I just did the obvious "celestia.cfg AND linux" to be left with just fifteen posts to check out ....

anyway i promise to check these more thoroughly next time.
i hope that's ok.
