[GRASS-dev] Re: missing grass configuration files

[William Kyngesburye]

Just curious - I haven't looked at the config folder changes yet: is the config folder path configurable at compile time or runtime?  What would be nice is to set platform-specific locations, like ~/Library/Preferences/grass7 on OSX, instead of the non-Mac-like hidden dot folder.

And not just hidden folders, but files also, like .grassrc7.

Init.sh refers to $GRASS_CONFIG_DIR, but this does not seem to be set when I check it from the GRASS terminal. BUT GRASS starts up with some kind of configuration because it saves my mapset/location preferences. So where is this?
