how do you do DESTDIR, it's necessary for packaging #33
Comments

@SolarAquarion This is how to change the installation directory and installation prefix from def build(ctx):
ctx.install_destdir = 'the/target/installation/directory'
ctx.install_prefix = '/usr/not-actually-local'Of course, you probably don't want to have to edit your build script in order to set the installation directory. In other to allow it to be passed over the command line (e.g. def arguments(parser):
group = parser.add_argument_group('config options')
group.add_argument('--destdir', help='Set the installation destdir', default='/')
group.add_argument('--prefix', help='Set the installation prefix', default='usr')
# Other arguments go here.
def build(ctx):
ctx.install_destdir = ctx.options.destdir
ctx.install_prefix = ctx.options.prefixThis is described in the manual here. A full example in one of my own projects is here. Does that answer your question? (Also, out of curiosity, how exactly did you come about this question?) |

Arch creates a fakeroot directory named "pkg" which is not / but is /
because it's going to be / after you install it with sudo pacman -U
uterm-git*.pkg.tar.xz

Does that answer your question?

I'm trying to create a package for arch Linux. I already packaged fbuild

@SolarAquarion In that case, it depends on the project you're trying to package adding that argument... What project are you trying to package? Also, I saw the Arch Linux package, and it looks great! |

uterm, i am trying to package uterm

maybe a "--root=$pkgdir" would be a interesting thing to add to the
features of fbuild

you don't have a prefix setting in that fbuildroot

That's a good point... Anyhow, I added |

There needs to be an option for prefix to be /usr and the destdir a
fakeroot known as $pkgdir. It still doesn't create all the directories in
the fakeroot

Anyhow, I added --destdir and --prefix to uterm in the latest commit. I'll
leave this open for some pondering on how to solve this more generically.

--prefix=usr as a workaround (notice I dropped the leading / off of
--prefix's value).
