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.
Lutz
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
http://perpetualnewbie.info/archlinux/packages/newlisp/newlisp-8.6.0-1.pkg.tar.gz
(btw, sorry for sticking these posts in the wrong forum)
