Since you define the run-time directory setup when configuring the big bang library libcapsbase, you need to start here and think a while about your requirements. If you run a desktop host the requirements are different from an embedded system. Think about read-only filesystems, security requirements or small filesystem storage for data, configs and executables.

An overview about the filsystem usage (an example):

  /

  +--- etc
  |     |
  |     +--- caps                        (CAPS Configuration Directory)
  |     |      |
  |     |      +--- drivers              (CAPS Printer Driver Configuration Directory)
  |
  +--- usr
  |     |
  |     +--- bin                         (Tools Directory)
  |     |
  |     +--- lib                         (Library Directory)
  |     |
  |     +--- libexec
  |     |      |
  |     |      +--- caps                 (CAPS Printer Driver Executables Directory)
  |     |      |
  |     |
  |     +--- include                     (Header File Directory)
  |     |
  |     +--- sbin                        (Service Executables Directory)
  |     |
  |     +--- share
  |     |      |
  |     |      +--- caps
  |     |      |     |
  |     |      |     +--- drivers        (CAPS Printer Driver Database Directory)
  |
  +--- var
  |     |
  |     +--- lib
  |     |     |
  |     |     +--- caps                  (CAPS Printer Device Database Directory)
  |     |     |      |
  |     |     |      +--- printer_dhfgez (CAPS Printer Device Parameter Directory)
  |     |
  |     +--- spool
  |     |     |
  |     |     +--- caps                  (CAPS Document Storage Directory)
  |     |     |

Note: The printer_dhfgez" in the "CAPS Device Parameter Directory is an example here. Refer CAPS Printer Device Parameter Directory for more details.

The meaning of the various directories:

CAPS Configuration Directory
CAPS Printer Driver Configuration Directory
Tools Directory regular directory where executable user programs are expected
Library Directory regular directory where most of the shared libraries are expected
CAPS Printer Driver Executables Directory
Header File Directory regular directory where most of the include files are expected
Service Executables Directory regular directory where executable service programs are expected
CAPS Printer Driver Database Directory
CAPS Printer Device Database Directory
CAPS Printer Device Parameter Directory
CAPS Document Storage Directory

Attention: The directory structure is defined when you configure libcapsbase. Whenever you want re-define the directory structure, you need to re-configure and re-install libcapsbase. If you change installation paths, the dependend CAPS components must be re-configured and re-installed as well.
