Yes, the Debian package is using --program-prefix=$(CURDIR)/debian/epic5 where that points to the directory that is going to use to create the .deb package. I would be happy with an other way that has the same effect. We just want to be able to prepend a path to what we specified with --prefix so that we can install the files to some temporary location and put them in an archive. We currently also patch Makefile.in like this: --- epic5-1.0.orig/Makefile.in +++ epic5-1.0/Makefile.in @@ -125,7 +125,7 @@ $(MV) $(IP)$(EPIC_LINK) $(IP)$(EPIC_OLD); \ fi; \ $(RM) $(IP)$(EPIC_LINK); \ - ln -s $(epic5)-$(VERSION) $(IP)$(EPIC_LINK); \ + mv -f $(IP)$(EPIC) $(IP)$(EPIC_LINK); \ fi # We only ship a "/usr/bin/epic5".
