No app should install anything to root

[danielb2]

/boardtextures/ and /sounds/ is violating this. Any reason to do this?

Works for me on Ubuntu 14.10. On which platform do you see this behaviour?

[danielb2]

OSX installed it to root

[pzorin]

I suspected that, the variables QGO_INSTALL_PATH and QGO_INSTALL_BIN_PATH in qgo/src.pro are not set for mac os x. You can try setting them to whatever is appropriate. I can't be of much help since I do not use mac os and don't know its conventions.

[danielb2]

Follows the same conventions as FreeBSD and most UNIX. It should be installed in /usr/local

Does that help?

[pzorin]

You can try replacing
unix_:!macx-_ {
in src.pro by
macx-* {
Then everything will be installed to /usr/share. It seems however that qt applications are supposed to be deployed as something called "bundles" on mac os, and I am not really interested in learning how that works.

When the app is compiled, the result is qgo.app. It appears to be the whole self-contained app already. I deleted the other folders which had no noticeable impact, but I couldn't connect to a server and play so I couldn't tell for sure. Regardless, this is probably the "bundle" it's referring to.
