Comment (by [EMAIL PROTECTED]):
Just to note what we do with Gentoo (which isn't ideal):
For configure we use the normal stuff.
Then for install we use:
{{{
make -j1 ${insttarget} \
prefix="${D}/usr" \
datadir="${D}/usr/share/doc/${PF}" \
infodir="${D}/usr/share/info" \
mandir="${D}/usr/share/man" \
libdir0="${D}/usr/$(get_libdir)"
# the libdir0 setting is needed for amd64, and does not
# harm for other arches
}}}
And this still doesn't quite work because the temporary ${D} path gets
baked into ghcprof and we have to fix that up using sed.
{{{
#need to remove ${D} from ghcprof script
sed -i -e 's:$FPTOOLS_TOP_ABS:#$FPTOOLS_TOP_ABS:' "${D}/usr/bin/ghcprof"
}}}
Ideally if DESTDIR were supported then we'd just do:
{{{
make -j1 ${insttarget} DESTDIR="${D}"
}}}
Note that for some reason we need this hack while building:
{{{
make all datadir="/usr/share/doc/${PF}"
# the explicit datadir is required to make the haddock entries
# in the package.conf file point to the right place ...
}}}
That was for 6.4.1, I don't know if it's still needed in 6.4.2.
