[Question] packaging w/o ESMF_DIR #238

Open waarmond opened 5 months ago

waarmond commented 5 months ago

I would like to write an AUR PKGBUILD for esmf. The build step is working absolutely flawless.

ArchLinux creates a work-copy, then builds in the srcdir, installs with DESTDIR to the pkgdir and then tarfiles that. ├── esmf = repo clone ├── pkg │   └── esmf └── src │   └── esmf = builddir

prepare() {
    export ESMF_DIR=$srcdir/esmf/
}

build() {
    cd "$pkgname"
    make
}

package() {
    cd "$pkgname"
    make DESTDIR="$pkgdir/" install
}

How may I outsmart ESMF_DIR which doesn't want to be changed during the build process?

PS: The build() step can't write to $pkgdir yet. I would need a different ESMF_DIR for each step.

@waarmond Are you asking how to install to a different place? You can set ESMF_INSTALL_PREFIX and that determines where ESMF is installed. I'm not sure ESMF knows about DESTDIR at all...

I've now succeeded in packaging it.

Are there any negative repercussions of having the binaries at /usr/bin instead of /usr/bin/binO/Linux.gfortran.64.mpiuni.default ?

@waarmond Shouldn't be if you do make install. I think ESMF's make system will rewrite things like esmf.mk to point to the right places. Heck, I maintain a set of libraries that install to a bit of oddness (due to historical reasons):

  ESMF_INSTALL_PREFIX    ?= $(prefix)
  ESMF_INSTALL_HEADERDIR ?= $(prefix)/include/esmf
  ESMF_INSTALL_MODDIR    ?= $(prefix)/include/esmf
  ESMF_INSTALL_LIBDIR    ?= $(prefix)/lib
  ESMF_INSTALL_BINDIR    ?= $(prefix)/bin
