[Coin-discuss] Change to installation directory for header files

[Ted Ralphs]

Dear COIN users,

This message is to notify everyone of a small change taking place soon 
that will affect all COIN projects that use the automated build system. 
Currently, all header files are installed in the include/ subdirectory 
of the installation directory. In order to make it safer and easier to 
install COIN software centrally in the usual locations on Unix operating 
systems (i.e., /usr or /usr/local), we'll be changing the default 
installation location for header files to include/coin/. This will keep 
the COIN header files from flooding directories like /usr/local/include 
after an install. However, it may require changes to include paths for 
users who have built applications linking to previously installed 
version of COIN packages. We'll make an announcement when this change 
occurs and try to let you know exactly which versions of which packages 
are affected. Please feel free to ask for clarification if the above is 
not clear to you.

Happy Holidays!

Ted
