#### Declaration [src]

    gchar*
    gimp_config_build_system_path (
      const gchar* name
    )

#### Description [src]

Creates a search path as it is used in the gimprc file. The path returned by `gimp_config_build_system_path()` is just the read-only parts of the search path constructed by gimp_config_build_plug_in_path().

Note that you cannot use this path directly with gimp_path_parse(). As it is in the gimprc notation, you first need to expand and recode it using gimp_config_path_expand().

Available since: 2.10.6
