Re: How to use imake with new X policy ?




Hi Kilian,
Look what lintian reports:
xbanner isnt a X Window System itself.
And xbanner doesnt use  autotools or automake.  Its use imake.

I dont know how say to imake put files in /usr/sbin  instead /usr/X11R6


W: xbanner: packages-installs-file-to-usr-x11r6 usr/X11R6/
N:
N:   Packages using the X Window System should not be configured to install
N:   files under the /usr/X11R6/ directory unless they use imake. The
N:   /usr/X11R6/ directory hierarchy should be regarded as deprecated for
N:   all packages except the X Window System itself.
N:
N:   Programs that use GNU autoconf and automake are usually easily
N:   configured at compile time to use /usr/ instead of /usr/X11R6/, and
N:   this should be done whenever possible.
N:
N:   Refer to Policy Manual, section 11.8.7 for details.

Hi Jose Carlos,

I adopted one package that put its binary files in /usr/X11R6/bin, but lintian reports that these files must be placed in /usr/bin/X11.
I tried create one file  imake.config   and in it :
BINDIR=/usr/bin/X11

Someone can help- me ?

kk@ganymede:/usr/bin/X11$ pwd -P
/usr/X11R6/bin

as you can see that /usr/bin/X11 is just the dir you've been adressing
correctly. If there's no reason to use /usr/bin/X11, then just
use /usr/bin as do quite a lot of X11 apps.
