How to create funplug package
I haven't been able to find a howto on the wiki or a message in the forum on how to create a funplug package.
Assuming a cross-compile environment produced with the instructions given at http://dns323.kood.org/howto:crosscompile, what is the best way to build a funplug package?

Re: How to create funplug package
starry_knight - there is a difference between installing fun_plug and creating a fun_plug package - fun_plug is a simple script, but someone has to create the software that fun_plug calls , and that is what he is asking about.

Re: How to create funplug package
i dont know if this is the right method but i created ffp and oteher needed directories (like share, etc, start) in my tmp. then put all the files where they belong (in right directories) and after you finished execute
#tar cvzf package_name-version-ffp0.5.tgz ffp
that worked so i was a happy panda

SilentException:
DId you just use --prefix and --exec-prefix when you ran ./configure to point to your /tmp/ffp or did you need do other stuff as well?

Re: How to create funplug package
I'm using funplug-0.5 and when compiling packages for it I do the following:
First step is to configure the program in question with the --prefix option:
Code:
./configure --prefix=/ffp/devel/releases/Toolname-ffp0.5/ffp make make install
After compiling all binaries and additional files will be "installed" in the above directory.
Don't forget to add a "start" folder with a proper toolname.sh for automatic startup.
To create the actual package, there's a rather lengthy command:
Code:
tar cf - -C /ffp/devel/releases/Toolname --owner=root --group=root . | gzip - -c >toolname-0.1.0-ffp0.5.tgz
It may be possible to shorten this, I didn't feel like it yet though :)

No. This will fail for quite a few packages. You should always use '--prefix=/ffp'. prefix denotes the _final_ install location. Many programs use this path to look for files at run-time, so it must be /ffp.

Installing into a separate tree, and creating a tarball from it is a good way to create the package. The proper way (for many, but not all packages) to install to a separate tree is known as DESTDIR:
Code:
make DESTDIR=/ffp/devel/releases/Toolname/ install
This works for many autoconf-based packages. Other packages may required 'make prefix=/ffp/devel/releases/Toolname/ffp install', and some may not support separate install trees at all.

Re: How to create funplug package
Well, I certainly can't speak for many apps, and you've obviously made way more packages than I did, but so far my method proved successful in that no app complained so far
Thank you for these hints though, that's actually the first time someone "in the know" commented on the packaging process. All that stuff is missing in the Wiki.
