Excutable Missing

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Describe your system:
 - Operating System (be specific):Ubuntu Linux 10.10 Maverick 
 - Machine type (32-bit or 64-bit):32-bit
 - Mupen64Plus version:1.99.3
- Plugins used:

For visual artifacts, give:
- game name and CRC/MD5 hash (printed on console)
- description of the artifact (missing polygons, flashing, wrong colors,
etc)

Describe the problem: Using the instructions from the read me files I installed 
Mupen64Plus 1.99.3, but for some reason the executable is missing from 
usr/local/bin (I dont have a bin folder). (So far I only have version 1.5). I 
have already installed 1.99.3 multiple times and yet the executable is not put 
there.

Please provide any additional information below.
Mind putting the new version of Mupen64Plus in the Ubuntu Repos (Ubuntu 
Software Center) because it only has the old v1.5 in the repos.

I can also confirm this issue with mupen 1.99.3 installer on Ubuntu 10.04 
amd64. 

Some kids on the ubuntu forum [not me! also seem to be having problems: 
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1357611 ]

I've come to the same conclusion as them. 

In the setup script, it tries to install stuff in /usr/local/bin/ but nothing 
ends up there.

These are the lines in install.sh that configure that.

PREFIX="${1:-/usr/local}"
SHAREDIR="${2:-${PREFIX}/share/mupen64plus}"
BINDIR="${3:-${PREFIX}/bin}"

I suspect Ubuntu probably wants the files to be dropped in a different location 
rather than just "mkdir -p"'ing the locations but I'm not really sure where to 
be honest.

my hacking around:

Yea I would really like this to be fixed. The old Mupen64Plus wont let me 
change my PS3 controller settings and wont even make it work half the time. 
Could the devs just update the version in the repos to 1.99.3?

And no, Debian will not get 1.99.3 and Ubuntu only fetches it from Debian.

There is no graphical interface in mupen64plus 1.99.x - please see 
http://code.google.com/p/mupen64plus/wiki/ThirdPartyPlugins for some options

This is fixed in 1.99.4.  Was caused by install script quitting after the 
'omitting directory...' message.
