Okeh, i guess i still need help. I see the PostInstScript in the
xinvaders info file, but i don't see where in it the offending commands get
edited out of the makefile. Isn't it normally done using "sed"? FWIW, i'll
include what i have so far for an info file.
angband.info
Description: Binary data
1) rearranged the blocks by phase so i can more easily find things ;^)
2) removed "--with-setgid=games", the game builds and plays without it!
3) changed "find lib/ -exec chown games:games {} \;" to "find lib/ -exec chown
games:games {} %p/lib;", i think this needs more work, but it can wait until we
get this past the --b-a-n problem
4) The offending section of the makefile has:
"# chgrp "" "$(DESTDIR)$(bindir)/angband"
# chmod g+s "$(DESTDIR)$(bindir)/angband"
I'm still trying to grok percent expansion. Is it the case that
$(DESTDIR)$(bindir) should be replaced with %D? With what do i replace the ""
in chgrp??
