adds DEFAULT_LIBDIR and COPYLIBDIR
Comment 2 Monk 2012-10-15 02:20:33 EDT 
Is this also an issue with ioq3?  i.e. is this an upstream issue or reaction-specific?
Comment 3 Matthias Mailänder 2012-10-15 06:21:26 EDT 
It is an ioQuake3 problem: https://bugzilla.icculus.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5767 but as every game seems to be based on another version with a slightly different build system this needs to be patched individually. Some games are also FHS compliant.

Matthias, Thank you for the patch.  It is quite good but the only thing I am worried about is the naming of the game .so's.
For example, what happens if a user installs two games based on ioq3?  Wont both games have conflicting cgamex86_64.so, qagamex86_64.so and uix86_64.so?
Perhaps adding the gamename to the name of the .so will help?
Like Reaction_cgamex86_64.so or something.   What are your thoughts on this issue?
Comment 5 Matthias Mailänder 2012-10-21 14:30:36 EDT 
Most other ioQuake3 games already branded their filenames. You might want to do so, too.
