make install DESTDIR=%d is pretty common for the install phase--that depends on what the package supports. However, that may well not change having the python modules having hardcoded references to the build directory; especially if the build process thinks that python actually lives there. It should really build python stuff the way our other python module packages do. This package, to go in Fink, really should not use the bundle, but instead it should have all of its dependencies installed separately and then use the separate gnowsys source tarball. > > Now I remember: this package is on our submissions tracker, so we're > not in such a good position to troubleshoot it, since we don't > even know > that it works at all. > > Your problem could possibly be due to be the following: > > sudo -u fink-bld [ENV] sh -c/var/tmp/tmp.2.sUoqMy > [ -r /sw/fink/dists/local/main/finkinfo/gnowsys.patch ] > sudo -u fink-bld [ENV] sh -c/var/tmp/tmp.3.i4zTMN > patch -p1 < /sw/fink/dists/local/main/finkinfo/gnowsys.patch > missing header for unified diff at line 3 of patch > can't find file to patch at input line 3 > Perhaps you used the wrong -p or --strip option? > The text leading up to this was: > -------------------------- > |--- install.sh 2008-08-20 12:29:34.000000000 +0530 > |+++ install_1.sh 2009-05-08 07:53:41.000000000 +0530 > -------------------------- > File to patch: gnowsys.patch > gnowsys.patch: No such file or directory > Skip this patch?
