[psynth-devel] disable CEGUI.log in current directory

[Aleksander Morgado]

Hey,

Just installed 1.0.4, run it, and got this:

address@hidden:/opt/psychosynth/bin$ ./psynth3d

The problem is just that my standard user didn't have permission to
write the log file in my current directory. This actually is a problem
as the user shouldn't depend on the current directory to run the
program.

A good idea would be to, by default, disable all logs (CEGUI.log in this
case), and enable it by a specific argument to the program, like
--cegui-log=/path/to/somewhere

BTW, I think I don't need any special new version of the dependencies in
ubuntu 9.04, so just compile & install and it worked.

Cheers,
