Tiny Core Extensions > TCE Talk

A couple of questions about extension building

<< < (2/3) > >>

Juanito:
I'm travelling at the moment, so I don't have the time to explain fully - as a start, you can read the "beyond linux from scratch" instructions for compiling perl modules and they will compile without problems on tinycore if you have the compiletc and perl_xml extensions loaded

softwaregurl:
Thanks Juanito. This would be the best link I found.

Juanito:
You need http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/stable/general/perl-modules.html

curaga:
Xorg is a special case, if you want to use something from it's script please only use the CFLAGS/CXXFLAGS :)

In general I usually use --prefix=/usr/local but add DESTDIR=/tmp/XXX to make install, to have it generate the pack in /tmp/XXX/usr/local, it's easier to tar from there.

With Xorg all packages depended on each other, so they were copied to the base system after installation to /tmp/something to enable building the next part.

^thehatsrule^:
Now I get what the original question meant, I think.

curaga: is DESTDIR supported in most makefiles?  Or is it a hit and miss thing like install-strip?  I've only used it once or twice for packages that did not include a configure script, iirc.
