[Aqsis-development] Installation Changes / ebuild

[Timothy M. S. <ts...@k-...>]

Gang:

A "heads-up" that I've made a few changes to the install directories 
using autotools:

* Changed the installation directory for header files from $includedir 
to $pkgincludedir.  For a typical installation, this means that the 
Aqsis headers would be in /usr/include/aqsis instead of /usr/include. 
This seems to be common behavior, and makes good sense.

* Changed the installation directory for plugins from $libdir to 
$pkglibdir.  Again, this seems to be common behavior for packages that 
have plugins.

* Changed the installation directory for shaders from $datadir to 
$pkgdatadir.  So, /usr/share/aqsis/shaders instead of 
/usr/share/shaders.  You can see that this makes good sense for anyone 
trying out different render engines, not that I'm encouraging such 
behavior, mind you ;)

With these changes in place, I've created and submitted an Aqsis ebuild 
for Gentoo Linux.  I understand it can be weeks before an ebuild is 
formally accepted into the distribution, so I've enclosed it for those 
who are interested - you will see that it is a very concise, high-level 
description of how to obtain Aqsis using anonymous CVS, configure, 
build, and install it.  Once Aqsis 1.0 is out I'll create a similar 
ebuild that works from a specific snapshot.  I discovered by accident 
that k3d has already been added to Gentoo, so with the Aqsis ebuild in 
place, Gentoo users will have a simple way to install the two packages 
and be up-and-running without further configuration.

Cheers,
Tim
