[maemo-developers] Optification creates link-loop

[From: Till Harbaum / Lists]

Hi,

many apps handle the --datadir option correctly and can thus
move bulk data automatically into /opt. But --prefix=/opt would
also install the executable, the icons and the .desktop file
there. Unfortunately Nokia is not supporting files to go there
and you have to create links back to /usr. --prefix doesn't do
that for you.
