I would enjoy to help the community by porting some software; but now I am still learning ;-)
The software I am trying to port is bsvc (a Motorola 68000 simulator & assembler).
I managed to patch and compile it and I have also started to write .info and .patch files.
The software uses simple makefiles (not automake) and I had to create a makefile for Mac OS X (diff should have added it into the .patch, right?).
I had also to change some settings in the common makefile, but I am not sure how to do this.
I explain: there is a PROJECT_BASE environment variable to set in this file. But I cannot set it here, because only fink know this information.
So I thought I had to define it in the .info file using %b expansion:
SetPROJECT_BASE: %b
But "fink validate" does not like this :-( How can I define an environment variable in the .info file?
Another question is about documentation.
Is "DocFiles:" sufficient to automatically copy documentation files to %i/share/doc/%n?
Is there a way to recursively add the content of a doc folder (with something like doc/*)?
And finally, I have put .info and .patch files in /sw/fink/dists/local/main to test them. But "fink install" tells me "Failed: no package found for specification 'bsvc'!"
II run "fink scanpackages" but It does not change anything...
How to manually add a package to test it? (I would like to test the whole procedure, downloading sources included)
Here is the .info file, can you tell me if something is wrong or missing?
