Good morning Benoît, (and any others watching)

re the automake scripts:

I have hacked the Makefile generated from the install package to echo
each command before it is executed when "make install" is run.
First up there is definitely code intended for handling Components.
But there  appears to be a bug in the target paths.
Here is the output:

make[1]: Entering directory `/home/bb/test_gb3packages/phControls3-0.0'
make install IS using hacked Makefile script
Installing phControls3.gambas in /usr/local/lib/gambas3
Command 1 is: /usr/bin/install -c -d /usr/local//usr/local/lib/gambas3
Command 2 is : /usr/bin/install -c
phControls3.gambas /usr/local//usr/local/lib/gambas3
Installing phControls3.component in /usr/local/lib/gambas3
Command 3 is : /usr/bin/install -c -d /usr/local//usr/local/lib/gambas3
Command 4 is : /usr/bin/install
-c .component /usr/local//usr/local/lib/gambas3/
Command 5 is : chmod
a-x /usr/local//usr/local/lib/gambas3/phControls3.component
Installing phControls3.info in /usr/local/share/gambas3/info
Command 6 is : /usr/bin/install -c
-d .info /usr/local//usr/local/share/gambas3/info
/usr/bin/install: cannot create directory `.info': File exists
Command 7 is : /usr/bin/install
-c .info /usr/local//usr/local/share/gambas3/info/phControls3.info
Command 8 is :chmod
a-x /usr/local//usr/local/share/gambas3/info/phControls3.info
Installing phControls3.list in /usr/local/share/gambas3/info
Command 9 is : /usr/bin/install
-c .list /usr/local//usr/local/share/gambas3/info/phControls3.list
Command 10 is : chmod
a-x /usr/local//usr/local/share/gambas3/info/phControls3.list
make[1]: Nothing to be done for `install-data-am'.
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/bb/test_gb3packages/phControls3-0.0'

The target paths appear to be meaningless, e.g.
"/usr/local//usr/local/lib/gambas3"
After a bit more hacking I see:

Command 1 is: /usr/bin/install -c -d /usr/local//usr/local/lib/gambas3
Command 1 code is $(INSTALL) -d $(DESTDIR)$(prefix)/$(GBLIBRARY_path)
INSTALL is /usr/bin/install -c
DESTDIR is 
prefix is /usr/local
GBLIBRARY_path is /usr/local/lib/gambas3

So the actual code for the first command should be " $(INSTALL) -d
$(GBLIBRARY_path)"
(Which will just create the /usr/local/lib/gambas3 dir if it does not
exist).

If you point me to the place in the trunk source where the "Make
Installation Package" lives I will track this down further.

Oh, by the way in install the "-c" option appears to be ignored these
days. Maybe just a hangover from days-gone-by?
