The usual way of getting the file list is to install everything into a temporary directory, then getting a list of all the files in there.
You can do that manually - very easily - as in make DESTDIR=$(pwd)/temp install tar Pcf - ./temp | tar t > file-list gnustep-make also has semi-private functionality to do that which is used by the built-in RPM package builder; you could use it as in -- make DESTDIR=$(pwd)/temp install filelist=yes which should install everything into a temporary directory ./temp, and generate a filelist (in the format used by RPM) in ./obj/file-list. Of course, internally it's just doing exactly the two lines of shell stuff I gave you above. And the disadvantage of this is that if a new version of gnustep-make reworks the way the RPM internally works, we may potentially change the way the filelist is generated. So, I would recommend the first approach. :-) Thanks -----Original Message----- From: "David Chisnall" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, 30 July, 2008 12:59 To: "GNUstep" <[email protected]> Subject: Automatic package list generation Hi, I was wondering if there was a way, with GNUstep make, of automatically generating a list of files that will be installed and directories that will be created when you install a GNUstep program.
