(GMAIL ID.) Okay, I'll donate these two when and if the demo works out. As for making them automatically? Good question, I simply recreated the directories inside an empty directory, and then ran the command "#makepkg <packagename>", where the # is of course the root prompt, and the makepkg one is the command, and the thing inside the <> characters was the package-name.
The site www.linuxpackages.net has someplace a tutorial on the subject of package making, and the way behind the scripts included on the many source code disks. The best way to examine them is go to either ftp.slackware.com and look at the source directory for current and work it out from there. It can be automated, as they do it all the time, but I suspect that it needs to invoked separately, perhaps by adding a script to the make file, with a configure selection to be enabled by instructing it to do so, and this presupposes that I'm not the only one who uses Slackware, versus your choice of SuSe, and Debian and naturally Red Hat. This is of course my first real attempt at making them since I had always gone from the source code. And indeed did that this time before. I should also mention that my big problem is that of working out how to write the scripts that we would need to do so. It's one of, I just don't know how. -- Gregg C Levine [EMAIL PROTECTED] "This signature was once found posting rude messages in English in the Moscow subway." ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
