Correct way to set log directory (HOPM_LOGDIR)?

[Strykar]

Hi,

I am trying to package hopm for Arch linux AUR and am flummoxed with the hard coded log path.

Reading INSTALL.md tells me the logdir isn't configurable via /etc/hopm/hopm.conf, why is this?

• Why not offer a --log-dir option via --configure?
• Am I missing something or would setting --prefix to /usr install logs to /usr/var/logs/hopm/?

Requiring me to patch the Makefile for Arch linux with:
sed -i 's|-DHOPM_LOGDIR="\\\"$(localstatedir)/log\\\""|-DHOPM_LOGDIR="\\\"/var/log/hopm\\\""|' Makefile.am

Is this correct or have I misunderstood something?
