Title: checkinstall-tc
Post by: Jason W on March 22, 2010, 02:23:40 AM

Checkinstall with an option added to create a Tinycore package.  The Debian, RPM, and Slackware options remain intact and were not altered.  Basically this tracks "make install" and makes a package out of it.  Helps to overcome the drawbacks of using the "find -newer /tmp/mark" or DESTDIR (when available) approaches that sometimes creep up.  This places a package in /tmp that can then be edited for submission or just used on one's system.  Usage is basically "./configure --prefix=/usr/local && make && checkinstall".  I have seen checkinstall fail, but normally that is in the case that make install fails.  But either way, test and verify the result of checkinstall like any other method.

Comments:       This has been adjusted to create a Tinycore tcz package. 
Just issue:
./configure --prefix=/usr/local
make
checkinstall

and choose the Tinycore option to create a tcz in /tmp of
the package.
