[Gambas-devel] Packaging gambas

[Tor Krill]

Hi,

I'm trying to build a package for gambas for my favourite distro,
archlinux http://archlinux.org/. 

I think compilation goes alright, using gcc 3.4.1. The problem is
however when at the make install step in this environment.

Because i am building a package rather than doing a normal install i try
to use the buildprocess to my advangtage. Here is what i have tried so
far. (I have done a normal build and install which seems to be working)

To configure:
=============
CXXFLAGS=-fpermissive ./configure --disable-kde \
--with-qt-includes=/opt/qt/include --with-qt-libraries=/opt/qt/lib \
--with-moc=/opt/qt/bin/

The CXXFLAGS is to turn some errors into warnings. GCC 3.4 is a little
more picky than the older ones.

Building:
=========

I just issue make 

Installing:
===========

This is the part that fails miserably.

First attempt 

I issue:

make ROOT=$startdir/pkg DESTDIR=$startdir/pkg install

Then libtool(?) fails with (Sorry for the wrapped lines):

 Making install in lib

I then try another way which gets me a bit longer:

mkdir -p $startdir/pkg/usr/bin
make ROOT=$startdir/pkg prefix=$startdir/pkg/opt/gambas install

And get:

make[1]: Entering directory `/home/tor/packages/gambas/src/gambas-0.96'
make[2]: Entering directory `/home/tor/packages/gambas/src/gambas-0.96'
Installing with ROOT=/home/tor/packages/gambas/pkg

Here i get a segmentation fault from the gbi executable.

Since im not used to Gambas itself i am not sure why this happens or
what the gbi executable should do.
