Hello George
The src package containts a cpik050.pro, which is an input file for qmake
(the Makefile generator from trolltech/nokia which comes with Qt)
qmake -o Makefile cpik050.pro
generates the Makefile, according to the target system
This point is expained in the cpik WEB page, but an INSTALL
or README file should be provided in the package.
I plan to switch to cmake in the future - but I need to become comfortable
with it.
I am not sure it is really a good idea to install to /usr/local because
the executable itself is related to OS version (it depends on
glibc and stdc++ shared libraries)
After a major OS release, cpik will not work anymore if it is not rebuilded.
However, I must admit that such a situation is very rare.
Other files (cpik libraries, run-time library, devices headers) could be
stored in /usr/local/share. I just put them in /usr/share because 98%
of apps do that, but if people are unhappy with that, I can change it.
