Bless - Gtk# Hex Editor Packaging Notes ======================================= This document is aimed at people trying to package Bless for a specific distribution. Bless can easily be packaged using the following method: configure --prefix=/usr make make prefix=/tmp-pkg-path install The contents of the /tmp-pkg-path can then be compressed and distributed as a package. The only problem with this procedure is that Bless by default tries to register its documentation with Scrollkeeper (if it is found) during make install and unregister it during make uninstall. However this is not wanted on the packager`s system but on the user's system. To overcome this, Bless should be configured without scrollkeeper support by the packager: configure --without-scrollkeeper and the post-install and post-uninstall scripts of the packaging system should take care of registering and unregistering the documentation. *Note* that the path of the help file in the .omf file is set at make time using the configured prefix. This is done using the 'scrollkeeper-preinstall' command which should therefore be present in the packager's system. In case it is not present, the post-install script should also set that path. A sample rpm bless.spec file is supplied with the bless source package.
