``scons install`` doesn't install documentation #349

Closed tpimh closed 3 years ago

tpimh commented 3 years ago

I was under the impression that scons install would install machines and examples under ${install_prefix}/share/doc/camotics, but seems that it doesn't. Everything works fine if I copy these two directories to that destination manually, but I believe this should be automated somehow. Is there another SCons target that does this?

I don't use the scons install target. Instead, I build a package with scons pacakge then install the package. It's much better to use you OS' package system.

In this case, I'm writing a script that would build such a package. On one hand, I can build a Debian package, then just unpack it into install_prefix, but that seems overcomplicating things a little bit.

I updated the install target. What kind of package are you building? Thanks for the report and let me know if there's anything else.

Thank you very much for your patch, it fixed the problem! The package I'm building is Flatpak, the manifest can be found here, and now it's fully functional!
