Re: [Flamerobin-devel] Compiled FlameRobin 0.9.3 Unicode

[Dalton C. <dal...@gm...>]

ok,

I will look over the install section of your makefile, and see if I can
create a deb for it.
It will be a week before I can spend any real time on it, but, I can say,
getting the build environment up and going was a bit of a hassle.
That is why I was going to create a build environment for you, so it just
works for you.
A tar.gz is like a zip file in that although it keeps extended attributes
which a zip does not, it just creates a folder that holds the files.
What is needed is a method that installs the files.

A deb (debian file) is just a compressed file with some scripts/info in it
to distribute the files to the correct directories.
I can send you the compiled flamerobin file, but that does not put the
code-templates for example, into the correct location, nor does it put the
man pages into the man system etc.   Also, deb files have version
information, md5checksums of the files etc., all to ensure version control.
rpm's are the same idea, just a slightly different format.

So, if you push/commit the latest/greatest version of the code up to the
git server and send me the branch it is on, I will see about creating a
script that creates the install files for you.    I will do it in a virtual
machine so that you can have it as a linux build environment, all ready to
use/deploy without needing me.  (I don't mind doing it, but, it is better
that no one person is the only one who can do something).

Also, in running it, I have found a few issues that you may want to address
or point me to the place in the code so I can fix it.

best regards
Dalton
