[Solved] PKGBUILD: non-standard file structure, how to create a link

Gen2ly · 2009-10-16 21:48:32

I'm building a PKGBUILD with the source contents in a non-standard file structure where files I have to placed by hand. I need to create a link to the executable (I'm pretty sure it needs to be statically placed) and this is how I did it:

  cd $pkgname-$pkgver
  mkdir -p usr/bin usr/shares/games/$pkgname
  cp .data/bin/Linux/x86/launcher-bin usr/shares/games/$pkgname/
  ln -s usr/shares/games/$pkgname/launcher-bin $pkgdir/usr/bin/$pkgname

It was the only way I could think of to do it. Please tell me if there is a better way.

Edit:

Hmm, this isn't even working. Link points to:

/usr/bin/shadowgrounds-demo -> usr/shares/games/shadowgrounds-demo/launcher-bin

grrrrrr

this should work

ln -s /usr/share/games/$pkgname/launcher-bin $pkgdir/usr/bin/$pkgname

Oh, thanks for putting that extra s in there

Yeah, that did it... was thinking relatively like the install -m644... entries.

Thanks, wonder.
