make install and dist target
----------------------------
Key: CAROB-75
URL: https://forge.continuent.org/jira/browse/CAROB-75
Project: Carob
Type: Improvement
Components: C++ API
Versions: V1.0 - full version
Reporter: Simon Csaba Endre
Assigned to: Gilles Rayrat
Priority: Minor
Fix For: V1.0 - full version
Please add a "make install" target to the Makefile taking in account the
DESTDIR variable.
Here are the reasons:
- Because is a standard target. See
http://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/html_node/make_127.html
- In the debian/rules and carob.spec files the packager need only one line:
"make install DESTDIR=/path/to/install/dir". The hardcoded ugly install hack
can be removed from this files. Anyway this must not be there. It must reside
in the Makefile.
- Only Carob is knowing _what_ to install. The user is knowing _where_. The
debian and rpm packages are only packaging the installed stuff and does not
need to follow Carob development (if a new include file need to be installed,
or a new manpage or new document...)
- The user does not need to manually copy the libraries and header files to
their final destination. Just type "make install" (defaulting to /usr) or "make
install DESTDIR=/usr/local" or "make install
DESTDIR="/home/myusername/softwares"
Also would be nice a "make dist" target. Now the steps to make an rpm package
is:
- get rid of the CVS directories
- create a tar.gz manualy
- rpm -ta carob-version.tar.gz
With the "make dist" file this can be simplified:
- make dist
- rpm -ta carob-version.tar.gz
