We use mailing list(s) as "bug tracker" (and more persistent ones
are listed in Hatari documentation).  Like other bug trackers,
you can post bugs there after you've registered.  Registering
isn't restricted.

Of the mailing lists, on hatari-devel you get few mails every day,
on hatari-users, weeks can go without a single mail.

As you can see, it's not an absolute path, unless you've explicitly
specified one for CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX, or left it at the CMake
default ("/usr/local") value:
---------- share/CMakeLists.txt ----------------
....
        foreach(type vnd.msa vnd.fastcopy x-stx)
                install(CODE "execute_process(COMMAND ln -sf 
application-x-st-disk-image.png

${CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX}/${ICONDIR}/${size}/mimetypes/application-${type}-disk-image.png)
                                ")
        endforeach()
....
foreach(type vnd.msa vnd.fastcopy x-stx)
        install(CODE "execute_process(COMMAND ln -sf 
application-x-st-disk-image.svg

${CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX}/${ICONDIR}/scalable/mimetypes/application-${type}-disk-image.svg)
                        ")
endforeach()
----------- CMakeLists.txt ---------------
if(NOT ICONDIR)
	set(ICONDIR share/icons/hicolor)
