real big problem for now... just a heads up for the future.
Hello, I've packaged this plugin for
Archlinux, it's now in the AUR
Thanks ! It's a bit unfortunate you acted so quickly - the plugin
is still in a 'beta' stage and following releases could well be
incompatible. This is no big deal for people who install from
source, but could generate some trouble for the others.
btw it would be good if in 'make install'
the necessary files are
copied to $(DESTDIR)/pathtowherecopyfiles rather than
simply /pathtowherecopyfiles ; this surely makes packaging much
easier on Arch
How should this be split up ? AFAIK there's only one place to
install LADPSA plugins, and the usual /usr or /usr/local
separation is not used. But I could be wrong about this.
and also btw,
good plugin - I've used it with good results with the
settings suggested by Gabriel :)
Fine !

Hi Fons.
On Arch we use scripts to easily build packages from source and install
those. The files get installed into a fakeroot environment, then it
gets packaged. The DESTDIR variable points to the fakeroot.
I patched a number of your applications makefiles to include DESTDIR
but it would of course be more convenient if we wouldn't have to do so.
I guess other package management systems use fakeroot as well and would
also benefit.
Regards,
Philipp

Since I'm working on this, just one more thing: it would be great if
the tar.bz2 and the package in general would be called wah-plugins
instead of WAH-plugins; Arch doesn't support capital letters in
package's names, so I had to call it wah-plugins but then the
incosistency brings up some more (little) issues in packaging.

I'll try to make life easy for packagers, but I can't promise
to accomodate all their wishes... For two reasons, first these
requirements may be conflicting, second I'm somewhat reluctant
to put things in e.g. Makefiles that I can't routinely test myself.
My primary concern for Makefiles is to ensure that an installation
from source works as expected. Which means using installation paths
based on $(PREFIX) taking into account 64-bit, etc. Your $(DESTDIR)
wants to override all of these, it's not very clear to me how to do
this.
There are also apps that will install into different places, e.g.
jkmeters installs a binary in $(PREFIX)/bin and some png files in
$(PREFIX)/share/jkmeters.
And to complicate things, the next release of TetraProc will use
$(PREFIX)/share/jkmeters as well, as it installs a subset of the
same png files, and I want them to be shared between all apps that
use them (and that number is bound to increase).
How would you handle this ?
Regarding the use of upper case, Unix and Linux do have case-sensitive
filenames. Any packaging system that tries to ignore that does so at
its own risk.

this is quite easy, the install target goes always to
$DESTDIR$PREFIX/somepath
where $PREFIX is commonly "/usr" or "/usr/local" or sometimes
"/opt".
The need for "$DESTDIR" is common to all kind of packaging tools,
because during package build they will install the complete file set to
a temporary path (=DESTDIR) and then wrap it all up.
If you would have a look to a Makefile written by automake/autoconf you
could see (and understand) in detail how it is used (even in a much more
complex setup).
