Details

Description:
Minetest ignores mods placed in /usr/share/minetest/mods. There is a missing build option.

Additional info:
From the build instructions on Mintests github:
"- If you want to install it system-wide (or are making a distribution package), you will want to use -DRUN_IN_PLACE=FALSE"

Not having this makes it problematic to install mod packages as they will be put in the /usr dir. So users will have to move them manually from /usr to /home. Not very KISS in other words.
https://github.com/minetest/minetest/issues/3597

Steps to reproduce:
Unpack or install a mod to /usr/share/minetest/mods and it will not be recognized unless moved to ~/.minetest/mods or recompile with the -DRUN_IN_PLACE=FALSE option set.
This task depends upon

The issue doesn’t occur on Arch Linux with the current version (0.4.17.1). See the attachment. Changing `RUN_IN_PLACE` unser Arch Linux is also unneccessary, as it is already `0`.

The upstream has re-opened the bug, but for Manjaro, not Arch Linux. A relevant notification has been sent: <https://github.com/minetest/minetest/issues/3597#issuecomment-451661659>.
