I don't think so. In my opinion this should be set to /c/mint/slb as this
is what mint.cnf uses.

Also the Makefiles don't use DESTDIR or something. Do you just change PREFIX

Yes, at least that's what I do.

This is actually a very good point! I'm not aware of any standard
whatsoever. I can imagine placing everything into aforementioned
/c/mint/slb and use "myslb.slb", "myslb020.slb" and "myslbcf.slb" and let
the app decide which one to load but this sounds pretty dumb.

This would be a nice candidate for the slb 'framework', to extend it from
SLBDIR to $SLBPATH/m68020-60 and $SLBPATH/m5475. It wont break
compatibility with MagiC (anyone is free to use just $SLBPATH if one knows
what he is doing) and make things nice for FreeMiNT.

Exactly! :) However now I think about this, the rules would be quite
interesting. Based on what? Kernel CPU flags? App CPU flags?
