Hi Akos,

3 Adjust Marble's search path for the maps and data

If you want to install Marble's data into a different place than the system 
default then read on: There are several ways to adjust the path where Marble 
is drawing it's data from:
3.1 At Compiletime

Use the cmake option -DMARBLE_DATA_PATH to specify the built-in system path 
that Marble gathers its data from:

Example:

  cmake -DQTONLY=ON -DMARBLE_DATA_PATH /mnt1/marble/data ~/marble

3.2 "At Runtime"

There are two solutions to adjust the data path for a precompiled Marble 
binary:

a) Enter a key and a value

marbleDataPath="/smb/marble/data"

to the config file "marblerc" or "~/.config/KDE/Marble\ Desktop\ Globe.conf" 
and (re)start the application.

b) Start Marble using the command line option --marbleDataPath:

marble --marbleDataPath ~/marble/data
