Only got one message.
OK, I've made "equivalent" changes to the Makefile. The install program does not exist on all *nix platforms. Only Linux (I think)... Also, added the man page install.On 12/09/2009 10:40 AM, Dave Pitts wrote:Daniel Moerner wrote:On 12/08/2009 07:48 AM, Dave Pitts wrote:If we're going to productize this program.

This doesn't have to be very complex at all, if you have a Changelog that would be nice. Before packaging it for Debian I'll also make a brief man page for it, which I will forward to you.It's not coercion to get me to do something I've been meaning to do... That is to productize and clean some things up... Anyway, there's a new tarball on my site: ftp://www.cozx.com/pub/langs/focal-1.0.0.tar.gz Take a look and let me know if there is anything else we can add.Thanks a lot, that looks great. I built a package and did some tests. I have two things to mention. First, I'd propose that you apply the attached simple patch to the Makefile, which will create $(INSTDIR) if it doesn't already exist. This makes it easier to install the program into a temporary directory.
Second, part of the Debian distribution requirements is that all binaries must have a manpage. I've attached the extremely simple manpage that I put together for focal.
Looks fine. I've a new tarball in the same place as before... -- Dave Pitts PULLMAN: Travel and sleep in safety and comfort. dpitts@cozx.com My other RV IS a Pullman (Colorado Pine). http://www.cozx.com
