Note, however, that Scids ./configure is NOT the usual autoconf/automake
configure. It's actually some tcl-script. It should offer similar
functionality, but it's not a 1:1 match.
Besides: you can actually move Scid around, but it has to find his lib
somewhere in the path. I use the following (probably not so clean)
procedure to build Scid for a stow instance living in /opt/chess.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
#!/bin/sh
REPOS=/opt/chess/src/Repository
STOW=/opt/chess/stow
topdir=`pwd`
buildscid() {
ver=3.4.2
sciddir=$STOW/scid-$ver
tar -jxf $REPOS/scid-$ver.tar.bz2
cd scid
./configure
make
make eco2pgn
make eco2epd
mkdir -p $sciddir/bin
mkdir -p $sciddir/lib
mkdir -p $sciddir/share/scid
cp scid scidlet scidpgn spliteco pgnscid $sciddir/bin/
cp scmerge tcscid tkscid pgnfix $sciddir/bin/
cp sc_* $sciddir/bin/
cp eco2* $sciddir/bin/
chmod go+rx $sciddir/bin/
cp -p *.so $sciddir/lib
chmod go+rx $sciddir/lib/
cp -r bases $sciddir/share/scid
cp -r books $sciddir/share/scid
chmod go+rw $sciddir/share/scid/books/*
cp -r sounds $sciddir/share/scid
cp -r *.ssp $sciddir/share/scid
cp -r scid.eco $sciddir/share/scid
cd $topdir
}
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Using stow for installing into system dirs like /usr/games etc. might be
advisable btw. (Avoids some possbile problems with uninstall as it keeps
all files in a single dir and just uses links instead of copies.)
hth.
