TBH it's probably good enough to support --prefix and maybe the ability to specify particular library paths in the configure line. Distributions very rarely directly use the packages packaging as there is often a bunch of ancillary stuff to comply with the various distro standards. For Windows it probably does make sense to package things into a setup.exe (or whatever it is these days). -- Alex, homepage: http://www.bennee.com/~alex/ http://www.half-llama.co.ukReceived on 2010-06-24 Page template was last modified "Tue Sep 7 00:00:02 2021" The Rockbox Crew -- Privacy Policy |
