No one's gotten that stuff working with the Pd-extended build system.
The flext build stuff is strange and it seems Gem is making progress
with the ./configure stuff. Really, its just a matter of someone
doing
the work. If either build system uses the GNU standard 'DESTDIR'
and
'prefix' variables correctly, then the install targets should be
easy.
Otherwise those will have to be implemented.
Hi Thomas,
So can (we/you) alter the flext buildsys so that things like the
DESTDIR
and prefix variables (if they are set) provide reasonable defaults to
the conf files?
Hans, are these all environment variables or variables within the
makefile? As in do we need flext to build like this:
build.sh pd gcc
build.sh pd gcc install $DESTDIR $prefix
or can we just run "build.sh pd gcc" with the environment vars set
properly?
They are make variables, which are kind of interchangable with env
vars. Usually, you would use them like this:
make DESTDIR=/tmp/ prefix=/usr install
but you can also do this:
export DESTDIR=/tmp/
export prefix=/usr
make install
I'll help were I can, It would be really nice to have flext play nice
with the pd-extended build system.
It would be nice to have Gem and flext working this way. What needs
to happen is:
a) there needs to be some command line call to build everything,
whether its ./configure && make or whatever.
b) the build system needs to use the standard GNU install variables,
so that they can be overridden easily by the Pd-extended build system.
Here are the GNU standard variables for installation directories:

For Pd, since its an odd layout, I had to had a few more, while
trying to keep in the spirit of the GNU standards (from packages/
Makefile.buildlayout):
---------------
ifeq ($(OS_NAME),darwin)
libpddir = $(DESTDIR)$(prefix)
libpdbindir = $(bindir)
else
ifeq ($(OS_NAME),windows)
libpddir = $(DESTDIR)$(prefix)
libpdbindir = $(bindir)
else
libpddir = $(libdir)/pd
libpdbindir = $(libpddir)/bin
endif
endif
objectsdir = $(libpddir)/extra
pddocdir = $(libpddir)/doc
helpdir = $(pddocdir)/5.reference
----------------
For Pd-extended, there are three more:
----------------
examplesdir = $(pddocdir)/examples
manualsdir = $(pddocdir)/manuals
readmesdir = $(manualsdir)/READMEs
----------------
I hope that's clear enough, let me know if you have any specific
questions...
