Title: adjustments to Makefile...
Post by: tom on July 15, 2005, 01:19:38 PM
Hi Lutz, guys,



I'm trying to make a newlisp package for Arch Linux.  So far, I've

been unsuccessful.  the "build" section of the script that generates

the package has this line in it:



make DESTDIR=$startdir/pkg install


So, how much trouble would it be to make the makefile support

"DESTDIR?"



Thanks!

I can include the line:



arch-package:
    make -f makefile_arch_package


in newlisp-x.x.x./Makefile and you deliver the 'makefile_arch_package where you can define DESTDIR and can put everything else you need to make the package. In a similar way it was done for the MAc OSX package.



The makefile_arch_package will then be included in the next release.

Thanks Lutz!



Your extra work won't be needed.  Somebody at the Arch forums told me what I was doing wrong.



if anybody's interested, there's an Arch Linux package of newlisp 8.6.0 at
