[gentoo-dev] WindowMaker 0.8?

[gentoo-dev] WindowMaker 0.8?

[Clay Mitchell]

Any plans to put together a 0.8.0 ebuild of this? Or should I just
install it on my own?

Thanks

make a ebuild your self and share it with us! :)

Good idea. Where can I get some info on how to do this?

Hi!
 
A good place to start is by studying the existing ebuild for
WindowMaker-0.70.0-r1

Also check out:

/usr/portage/skel.build

the DevelopmentHOWTO on the gentoo.org

and 'man 5 ebuild'

It is also useful to look over the helper scripts in
/usr/lib/portage/bin to understand exactly what they are doing.

Hope that helps.

Re: [gentoo-dev] WindowMaker 0.8? (ebuild info)

[Zach Forrest]

First, read the Gentoo Linux Developers HOWTO: 
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/gentoo-howto.html

This document is a little out of date and there are couple of things to 
be aware of. One, the "A" variable is no longer used. Instead, you 
should replace the "${A}" in the "SRC_URI" variable with "${P}.tar.gz" 
(assuming that the package you are installing has the ".tar.gz" 
extension). Two, "try" is no longer used. Instead, use something like 
"./configure || die" or "emake || die". This will all make a little more 
sense once you've read the Gentoo Linux Developers HOWTO.

You might also want to check the devloper's mailing list archives for 
December and January for more info. Also, I highly recommend using the 
skeleton ebuild file (which has a lot of comments) located in 
"/usr/portage/skel.build". This should help you get started.

For me, it was very helpful to look at some existing ebuilds to get a 
better idea of how things are done. Playing with the "ebuild" command 
(see "man ebuild") will also give you a better idea of the steps 
involved in the merging process.

Regards,
Zach

SHouldn't it be "emake || make || die" ??  That way, for those non-smp
makefiles, you'll get at least *some* benefit for have more than 1.  Unless,
of course, emake has been rewritten to try "make $MAKEOPTS || make"

Oops, not specifically smp systems, but parallel builds is what I meant to
say.

Yes, emake first tries to run make $MAKEOPTS and if that fails it tries
to run make.

I updated the ebuild on CVS; I think it should be on rsync by now.
As for making your own, see man 5 ebuild as well as the developer
docs on gentoo.org.  In the case of the windowmaker ebuild, I 
just changed the filename of the ebuild to reflect the new version.
