openvrpaths.vrpath wrong location on Linux #179

Open cribalik opened 8 years ago

cribalik commented 8 years ago

The linux64 binary seems to look for the openvrpaths.vrpath file under $HOME/.config/openvr, but steam installs it under $HOME/.openvr.

Forgive me for seeing the irony in this issue, a library with the wrong path to a file defining paths. Jokes aside, looks like it's checking for the presence of an $XDG_CONFIG_HOME environment variable which may vary on distros, when not set it defaults to $HOME/.config in most common distros.

Check what echo $XDG_CONFIG_HOME displays for your environment.

It appears that the steam-for-linux project only partially adopt the XDG Base spec. https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/issues/1890
