Re: [PATCH] Do not run update-desktop-database on make install/uninstall

[Damjan Jovanovic]

Not all of us install Wine through a package manager, and
update-desktop-database is useful in that case. What that Makefile
should probably be doing instead, is calling update-desktop-database
only on the desktop directory where wine.desktop was just installed,
where it will succeed without root privileges, ie.:
        -$(UPDATE_DESKTOP_DATABASE) $(DESTDIR)$(datadir)/applications

Thank you
