Hi,
I wanted to build a client and put in a directory. But all files are placed in a subdirectiry called client. This is hardcoded in the confgure and Makefile scripts. In the Makefile are 2 vaiabele defined: BBTOPDIR and BBHOME. BBHOME = $BBTOPDIR/client. Changing these variabele is not enough because the client subdirectory is also hardcoded in other places. So in some places (for instance the clientlaunch.cfg) BBTOPDIR/client is used, this should be BBHOME.
I changed all files and removed the client directory dependency. It's working now. But maybe it's a better idea to change the configure and install scripts and use the variabele BBHOME and BBTOPDIR.

yes, client is a subdirectory and when you install the server it is put in a subdirectory called server. How are you going to handle that when you install the server and client on the same machine?. After all, it's just one level...

After all, it's just one level... I install the hobbit client together with other tools and perl stuff in the same directory. So I put the hobbit client in a directory called hobbit-client, not client.
But anyway, I still find it not correct to define 2 variables in the Makefile and not use them. A fix is easy, remove all references to the client subdirectory and replace them with $BBHOME.
