I don't understand. Can you elaborate why you think the datadir should be set to "."?

I purposely defined the datadir since the make install creates a folder called /opt/inkspace/share/inkspace/ and put all the files there. I figured that if I explicitly specified the datadir then perhaps it would create the share folder correctly.

I will definitely check build.xml to see what it should contain.

Thanks,

This is the culprit. In the Windows version, this should be defined to "."

Autotools also doesn't contain the code required to create the
distribution directory. You can inspect the build.xml file to see what
it should contain, specifically the "distbase" target.
