Igor et. al.,
Are there any instructions for using the generic
build script, aside from what's documented in the
gdb itself? I'm looking at using the gbs for a couple
of packages, and I'm trying to understand how it was
intended to be used.
Right now, it looks like it's something like:
1) Get source tarball (ex, foo-0.1.tar.gz)
2) Rename GBS as appropriate (ex, foo-0.1-1.sh)
(hereafter refered to as "gbs" for brevity)
3) Use gbs to set up work area (./gbs prep)
4) Configure (./gbs configure)
5) Build (./gbs make)
6) Install (./gbs install)
7) Package (./gbs package)
8) Repeat (4) - (7) as needed
9) Generate a patch (./gbs mkpatch)
10) Clean (./gbs mkpatch)
11) Generate a source package (./gbs src-package)
12) Generate a binary package (./gbs package)
13) If everything looks right, take a deep breath
and run "./gbs package all"
Am I missing something? I'm having trouble figuring
out where I should put the README file and setup.hint -
that should still go into the CYGWIN-PATCHES directory
in the main srcdir, from the looks of things. Is there
anythign I've missed?
