Strategies for packaging a Window Manager
I am beginning the packaging of the blackbox window manager
(http://linux.wiw.org/blackbox/). Have not expressed my intent to package
yet. I have a few questions -
1. Any suggestions on how I could make my job of interacting with the menu
system easier?
2. The source comes with an Imakefile -
/* Begin Imakefile */
#define PassCDebugFlags 'CDEBUGFLAGS=$(CDEBUGFLAGS)'
XCOMM
XCOMM Rules to build blackbox
MakefileSubdirs(app-defaults lib src)
DependSubdirs(lib src)
CleanSubdirs(app-defaults lib src)
MakeSubdirs(lib src)
InstallSubdirs(app-defaults lib src)
distclean:: clean
$(RM) Makefile app-defaults/Makefile lib/Makefile src/Makefile
/* End Imakefile */
I have never worked on hacking an Imakefile. What should I add / change so
that the makefile produced by running xmkmf installs into $DESTDIR? Or
should I be running xmkmf by hand, editing the Makefile and then building
the .deb?
3. Are there any specific pitfalls I should watch out for while packaging a
window manager?
