The core program is written in wp>Bash, and supported by a small number of helper packages that are compiled for your system during the installation. text/html 2010-02-06T10:46:56-08:00 Pieter E Sartain http://www.src2pkg.net/usage_notes?rev=1265482016&do=diff 1. Notes on the use of INSTALL_TYPE One very important variable used by src2pkg is called INSTALL_TYPE. This refers to the way in which package content gets created using the 'fake_install' instruction or function. fake_install is a 'front-end' to whatever command is normally used to install software to your system usually the command 'make install'. fake_install provides 5 distinct methods to run the installation commands -usually without installing the items at all. fake_install tries to run… text/html 2010-02-06T10:18:49-08:00 Pieter E Sartain http://www.src2pkg.net/sidebar?rev=1265480329&do=diff About Introduction Manual Installing Quick start Installation Configuration Upgrading Usage Overview Tutorial FAQ Customising Technical Special Files text/html 2010-01-31T15:17:42-08:00 Pieter E Sartain http://www.src2pkg.net/quickstart?rev=1264979862&do=diff The following instructions presume at least a basic understanding of: * Linux (!) * Slackware packages & their installation * Building programs from source Also, it is assumed you are running src2pkg on Slackware. src2pkg has been developed to make it as easy as possible to go from a single source archive to a single installable package. It is not, however, a substitute for package-making experience and understanding. text/html 2010-01-31T14:59:05-08:00 Pieter E Sartain http://www.src2pkg.net/technical?rev=1264978745&do=diff This file gives some technical details about src2pkg which may not be found elsewhere in the documentation. * Source archive formats supported by src2pkg * Source configuration methods supported by src2pkg * Package formats supported by src2pkg * Special files created or utilized by src2pkg * Execution Order of src2pkg * File Layout and Coding Style text/html 2010-01-30T11:10:13-08:00 Gilbert Ashley http://www.src2pkg.net/special_files?rev=1264878613&do=diff This file briefly explains the purpose and use of special 'extra' files which are used by src2pkg or that src2pkg can create during package building. Where $NAME is used, this means the bare case-sensitive name of the software being packaged.

Since the use of src2pkg build scripts is a little more in-depth, we'll first discuss using src2pkg as a command-line-only tool.
