How to make your gambas project compile using autoconf tools

[M0E Lnx]

I've been writing gambas for a while now... continuosly developing 2
applications.
I'd like to distribute my software in a way that the end user can
compile in a way similar to how the gambas tarball compiles.

./configure && make && make install

instead of distributing binaries.

Does anyone have a clue how this is done?

In the IDE menu go to:

Project --> Make --> Installation Package

and then select "Autotools" when the wizard asks
for the type of package you want to create.

One minor problem though... I just did my application with this
after some testing... here are the results

running configure without arguments does not install the binary to the system

running it with the --prefix=/usr argument results in a new directory
in /usr called usr... so the binary really ends up in
/usr/usr/vpackager.gambas

How do I fix this?

I confirm. This seems to be a bug. If I run
./configure without arguments then it installs
the binary in:

/usr/local/usr/local/bin/myprogram.gambas.

instead of the expected:

/usr/local/bin/myprogram.gambas

You have to wait for the boss fix ;-)

Thanks for the report, it should be fixed in svn commit 1419.

Gambas executable is saved in sbin dir and take care of prefix.

Laurent, don't you think it should be better that the default
destination of the executable was /usr/local/bin?

/sbin often is not in the $PATH of normal users.

My little opinion :-)

/sbin is reserved for superuser/root commands (hence the s), and even
only those who must be available during a singleuser mode, aka to repair
disks etc.
/usr/sbin is reserved for the rest of the root commands.

/usr/local/bin is for all third party software, so it belongs there...

Ron.

Benoit point me this problem just after the commit. I've got some confusion
about bin and sbin. I've fixed it just few minute after and the (correct) fix
is done in svn 1421 and 1422 for gambas 2 & 3 respectivly.

Thanks for the report and the explanations !

How about making make install support the DESTDIR argument?
