[Fink-devel] sed and patchscripts?

[Jeremy Erwin]

In some packages patchscripts such as the following are used to coerce packages to install correctly:

sed 's:@PREFIX@:%p:g' <%a/%f.patch | patch -p1

Assuming I've read that correctly, sed substitutes the current definition of %p for @PREFIX@ in the patchfile , before feeding the results to patch.

I want to substitute the proper fink prefixes for two variables (@DESTDIR@ and @PREFIX@), but am unsure how to coerce sed to do this.

BTW, it would be nice if fink build process warned installers that certain files were installed outside %d. Even projects which use autotools to build sometimes include their own (crude) installation scripts that may not recognize $(DESTDIR) .
