The one built via the script installed and ran perfectly.
But since I have started dabbling in the source code, to fix some things, I built the binary myself, too.
But when I start it, at least from the build/src/main/ directory, it asks me for the data dir once, and then not again.
If I then run the system path binary from my distro, it also doesn't ask it again.
I can then switch between the binaries all day long and none ask me.
Why is that?
Is it normal?
Does it save this information somewhere ( I assume so...) and where is it?
It doesn't seem to be ~/.fgfs, so...yeah.
Edit:
I think I have figured it out.
The system wide installation quite likely has the FG_HOME 'built in'
Wheras the self built one seems to use an 'ini' file entry.
