Subject: location of binaries and libraries of new wifi tools

Message-ID: <498CC07F.3080800@impulze.org> (raw)
Hey list, I was wondering where to put binaries for the new
wireless-stack based tools. Most default installations put libnl, crypto
and gcrypt into /usr. Applications like iw, wpa_supplicant and crda need
those to run, yet they do not link statically. So if the default
location for the new binaries is /sbin or /bin and the libraries it
links against are default installed somewhere into /usr things will
break. I wonder now what to do for consistency. Either statically link
libraries that are default installed into /usr, put those libs into /lib
or install the binaries into /usr aswell. I'd appreciate any comments on
that. :) Thanks and have a nice weekend.
