[Bug 137712] XCHATSHAREDIR variable not correct

[Whoopie]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xchat

Hi,

there's problem with xchat 2.8.4 and its XCHATSHAREDIR variable.

It's defined in configure.in as:
XCHATSHAREDIR=`eval echo ${datadir}`
AC_DEFINE_UNQUOTED(XCHATSHAREDIR, "$XCHATSHAREDIR")

So, the variable is "${prefix}/share" instead of "/usr/share".

When changing it to the following, it works:

XCHATSHAREDIR=`eval echo ${datarootdir}`
AC_DEFINE_UNQUOTED(XCHATSHAREDIR, "$XCHATSHAREDIR")

This variable is used for custom Op and Voice userlist icons and Tree
View icons (http://www.xchat.org/faq/#q27) and for the icon shown by the
notify balloon.

I'm attaching a patch for it.

Best regards,
Whoopie
