Does not look for AppStream metadata in /var/cache about appstream-glib HOT 7 CLOSED

Using AS_STORE_LOAD_FLAG_APP_INFO_SYSTEM we do, no?

from appstream-glib.

Yes - I am testing this with GNOME-Software, which uses this code in its AppStream plugin:

ret = as_store_load (plugin->priv->store,
                 AS_STORE_LOAD_FLAG_APP_INFO_SYSTEM |
                 AS_STORE_LOAD_FLAG_APP_INFO_USER |
                 AS_STORE_LOAD_FLAG_APPDATA |
                 AS_STORE_LOAD_FLAG_DESKTOP |
                 AS_STORE_LOAD_FLAG_APP_INSTALL,
                 NULL,
                 error);

We're using localstatedir -- did you install gnome-software/appstream-glib in a prefix or something?

from appstream-glib.

No, but apparently asglib defines localstatedir as:

localstatedir = ${prefix}/var

Sure the prefix should be there? ;-)

from appstream-glib.

Sure, the prefix should be there; this is provided by automake.

from appstream-glib.

Yes indeed, sorry, I was confused...
The code gets compiled with -DLOCALSTATEDIR=\""/var"\"

from appstream-glib.

I think this is good now.
