First the bad: This thing is a nightmare to package. The whole build process is designed for an individual to do a personal install. Not only does it bundle a number of libraries, but it downloads two dependencies as part of the build process, one of which is a binary package, so it's arch specific. It's going to take quite a bit of work to make it acceptable to distros that don't allow bundled libraries and unless they make it a priority, I don't think it will happen anytime soon. Additionally the main makefile doesn't even support an install target. You have to go into a system specific folder (linux, windows, Solaris, etc) and all it does then is copy in a few system specific files to the build location and tar it up. The good news is I made a very hackish SRPM which you can try out. It installs into /opt/nightingale because it doesn't install anything to the appropriate place. It also doesn't provide a desktop file so there will be no menu entry in Gnome/KDE, etc. The SRPM is quite big because the source is 43MB by itself and it downloads two other sizable files as part of the build. Richard You're THE man. Attach the link to download the SRPM :) |
