Hi list
I already suggested to Rob to make xwisp2 more a UNIX app, by adding
a install rule to the Makefile, that puts it into $(PREFIX)/bin and
the required xwisp2.cfg into $(PREFIX)/share/xwisp2/. I know that you
normally but configuration files as "."-file into the home directory,
but this is a file for all users and /etc is not the right place for
it, right? Excuse me, but I'm a Mac user and want someone to confirm
this ;)
Anyway, this is my suggestion:
PREFIX=/usr/local
...
install:
cp -f xwisp2u $(PREFIX)/bin/xwisp2
cp -f xwlistu $(PREFIX)/bin/xwlist
-mkdir $(PREFIX)/share/xwisp2
cp -f xwisp2.cfg $(PREFIX)/share/xwisp2/
The right search path for xwisp2.cfg has to be added to the source
code. I thought of "../share/xwisp2" or the absolute path if this
doesn't work.
And I also think that renaming xwisp2_gu.mak to Makefile or
GNUmakefile would make life easier too. make, make install...
What do you Linux guys think?
Cheers,
Ezra.
