| + | ===== Parsing of the Keys file == | ||
| + | |||
| + | When the client starts, it checks for environmental variables \\ | ||
| + | CFCLIENT_LIBDIR and CF_DATADIR . \\ | ||
| + | :!: These variabes are not named "understandable" \\ | ||
| + | like CF_CLIENT_LIBDIR and CF_CLIENT_DATADIR :!: | ||
| + | |||
| + | While the CF_DATADIR is used for theme and glade files, \\ | ||
| + | the **CFCLIENT_LIBDIR** is only used to look for a file named **def-keys** , \\ | ||
| + | which is included in the source code, but probably not in pre-packaged \\ | ||
| + | binary archives of OS distributions; since make install in the source code \\ | ||
| + | does not automatically install some {prefix}/lib/crossfire-client/def-keys file. \\ | ||
| + | :!: When [[client_compiling|compiling the client]] , a #define CLIENT_LIBDIR may be available to set a default //client_libdir// . | ||
| + | While parsing((keys.c:parse_keybind_line() )) the keys file, lines beginning with the number sign **#** and starting with a **new-line** are ignored. | ||
