I've just installed dvtm on Ubuntu Server and it looks like the terminfo entry gets installed into the wrong place (/usr/share/terminfo/, while the system looks for it in /etc/terminfo/). So I just removed the -o flag from @tic which allow the system to place the files to the right directory. Indeed, now things works properly.- @tic -o ${DESTDIR}${PREFIX}/share/terminfo -s dvtm.info + @tic -s dvtm.info
I think the original is correct. Makefile lines that ignore DESTDIR are truly obnoxious for package building; in this case, the package would be missing the terminfo file, which would be installed system-wide each time the package is *rebuilt*. In your situation, I would use -o /etc/terminfo as a local hack. I do think it would be nice if this line were in config.mk, as it seems to be system-specific. -- Wolfgang Corcoran-Mathe
